Gravel (2″ To 8″, Oversize)
Applications & Uses
Oversize Gravel in a 2" to 8" Size Range
Oversize gravel in the 2" to 8" size range is a coarse aggregate composed of naturally weathered or mechanically crushed stone fragments. This material is significantly larger than standard gravel, making it ideal for heavy-duty construction applications where stability and drainage are critical.
The large, irregular pieces of oversize gravel allow for excellent water flow, reducing the risk of pooling and erosion. This makes it a preferred choice for base layers in road construction, erosion control, and large-scale drainage projects. In residential settings, it is often used for French drains, retaining wall backfill, and as a foundation for heavy structures. While its size provides superior drainage and load-bearing capacity, it is not suitable for areas requiring a smooth or compacted surface, and may be challenging to walk on. Overall, oversize gravel is valued for its durability and effectiveness in demanding environments.
