Gravel (1″, Round, Screened, Spec)
Applications & Uses
1" Round, Screened, Spec Gravel
1" round, screened, spec gravel is a naturally weathered aggregate that has been carefully screened to ensure consistent sizing and quality. The "round" attribute means the stones have smooth, curved edges, typically formed by river or glacial action, making them less angular than crushed gravel. The "spec" designation indicates that this material meets specific grading and quality standards, ensuring reliable performance for construction projects.
The 1" size range is ideal for applications where good drainage and minimal compaction are important. Its rounded shape allows water to flow freely, making it a popular choice for drainage systems, French drains, septic system bedding, and landscaping features such as garden beds and decorative borders. In residential settings, it is often used for pathways, playgrounds, and as a base for patios where a softer, more natural look is desired. The main advantage of round, screened gravel is its excellent drainage and ease of handling, though it is less suitable for load-bearing surfaces like driveways due to its tendency to shift under pressure.
