Gravel (3/4″ To 2″, Blended Product)
Applications & Uses
Gravel, Blended Product, 3/4" to 2"
Gravel in a 3/4" to 2" size range, offered as a blended product, is a versatile aggregate commonly used in both residential and commercial construction. This material is typically produced by crushing and screening natural stone, then blending various sizes to achieve a consistent mix. The blend of particle sizes within this range provides a balance between stability and drainage, making it suitable for a wide array of applications.
The 3/4" to 2" size range ensures that the gravel is large enough to promote excellent drainage while still providing substantial load-bearing capacity. As a blended product, it compacts less tightly than uniform, smaller aggregates, which is ideal for projects where water runoff or drainage is a priority, such as French drains, septic system beds, and base layers for driveways or roadways. It is also commonly used as a base material under concrete slabs and retaining walls. The main advantage of this blend is its ability to reduce pooling and erosion, though it may not be suitable for surfaces requiring a smooth, compact finish. Overall, this gravel blend is a practical choice for foundational and drainage-focused construction needs.
