Default Gravel around house

Hi,

Our seven year old house has approx six inches of gravel around the
edge of the house, all the way around.

I've seen this on quite a few newer houses and wondered if there was a
particular reason for it being there or if it's merely decorative?

Thanks,

Jon



If you had soil against the house wall the rain would splash it up the wall
and it would look unsightly.
Shingle prevents this. I doubt very much it would be for drainage on a seven
year old house.
