Washed Gravel in a 1.5" Size Range

Washed gravel in a 1.5" size range is a durable, naturally sourced aggregate that has been thoroughly cleaned to remove dust, clay, and other impurities. The washing process ensures a cleaner, more attractive material that is less likely to introduce unwanted fines into your project.

The 1.5" size makes this gravel ideal for applications requiring excellent drainage and stability, such as French drains, septic system bedding, and large-scale landscaping. Its larger particle size prevents compaction, allowing water to flow freely, which helps reduce the risk of pooling and erosion. Washed gravel is also commonly used as a base layer for driveways, walkways, and retaining wall backfill, where cleanliness and drainage are priorities.

Pros of this material include minimal dust, reduced maintenance, and improved drainage performance. However, its larger size can make it less suitable for surfaces requiring compaction or a smooth finish. Overall, washed 1.5" gravel is a reliable choice for both residential and commercial projects where clean, free-draining aggregate is essential.
