Top-dressing or not

Alan wrote about Steven Hammer's bulbs with spiky leaves:
I notice in these photos and previous ones...
there is a fine gravel or grit - is this just a topping on
the growing media or does the entire media consist of this?
I have not seen the plants in question in person, but Steven Hammer
usually top-dresses his plants with this gravel. Most succulent growers do
something similar.
