Gravel (#8 To 3/4″)
Applications & Uses
Gravel in a #8 to 3/4" Size Range
Gravel in the #8 to 3/4" size range is a versatile aggregate composed of naturally weathered or mechanically crushed stone fragments. This gradation offers a blend of smaller and mid-sized particles, making it suitable for a wide variety of construction and landscaping applications.
The #8 to 3/4" size range provides a balance between compaction and drainage. Smaller particles fill gaps between larger stones, resulting in a stable surface that resists shifting while still allowing water to pass through, reducing the risk of pooling. This makes it ideal for use in driveways, walkways, patios, and as a base material for pavers. In commercial settings, it is commonly used for road base, drainage systems, and utility backfill.
Pros of this size range include good load-bearing capacity, effective drainage, and ease of installation. However, it may be less suitable for decorative top layers where a uniform appearance is desired, as the mixed sizes can create a more utilitarian look. Overall, #8 to 3/4" gravel is a practical choice for both residential and commercial projects requiring durability and reliable performance.
