Gravel (#4 To 1/2″, Round, Washed)
Applications & Uses
Gravel - Round, Washed, #4 to 1/2" Size Range
Round, washed gravel in a #4 to 1/2" size range is a versatile aggregate produced by screening and washing natural river or glacial deposits. The washing process removes dust, clay, and debris, resulting in clean, smooth stones with a consistent size and shape. The roundness of the gravel means it has no sharp edges, making it safer for bare feet and less likely to compact tightly.
This specific size and attribute combination is ideal for applications where drainage and aesthetics are important. Common uses include landscaping beds, French drains, playground surfaces, and decorative ground cover. In residential settings, it's popular for walkways, patios, and around pools, while in commercial projects, it's often used for drainage systems and pipe bedding. The main advantage of round, washed gravel is its excellent drainage capability and clean appearance, though it may shift underfoot and is not suitable for areas requiring a compacted base.
