Gravel (1″ To 8″)
Applications & Uses
Gravel in a 1" to 8" Size Range
Gravel in the 1" to 8" size range is a versatile aggregate composed of naturally weathered or mechanically crushed rock fragments. This broad size spectrum includes both medium and large stones, making it ideal for heavy-duty construction and landscaping applications.
The larger particle size provides excellent drainage and stability, which is especially valuable for erosion control, French drains, and base layers for roads or driveways. It is also commonly used for decorative rock gardens, retaining wall backfill, and as riprap along shorelines or embankments to prevent soil erosion. While its size makes it less suitable for compacted surfaces or pathways, it excels in situations where water flow and structural support are priorities. Note that due to the larger stones, this gravel is not ideal for surfaces requiring smoothness or easy walking.
