Gravel (3/8″ To 5/8″)
Applications & Uses
Gravel in a 3/8" to 5/8" Size Range
Gravel in the 3/8" to 5/8" size range is a versatile aggregate commonly used in both residential and commercial construction projects. Produced by crushing and screening natural stone, this gravel features a mix of small, angular pieces that provide excellent stability and compaction.
The specific 3/8" to 5/8" size strikes a balance between drainage and compaction. It is small enough to fill gaps and create a stable base, yet large enough to allow water to pass through, making it ideal for applications such as driveways, walkways, patios, and drainage systems. This size is also popular for use as a base layer under pavers or concrete slabs, as well as for decorative landscaping. While its angular shape helps lock pieces together for added stability, it may be less comfortable for bare feet compared to rounded gravel. Overall, this gravel size is valued for its versatility, ease of installation, and reliable performance in a wide range of projects.
