Sand/Gravel 50/50 Blend, 3/4" Minus

Sand/Gravel in a 50/50 blend with a 3/4" minus size range is a versatile construction aggregate combining equal parts of coarse gravel and fine sand. The "3/4" minus" designation means the largest particles are 3/4 inch in diameter, with smaller particles and fines included. This blend is typically produced by screening and mixing natural sand and gravel deposits to achieve a balanced gradation.

The 50/50 ratio offers a unique combination of stability and compaction. The gravel provides structural strength and drainage, while the sand fills voids for a dense, compactable base. This makes it ideal for use as a sub-base for driveways, patios, walkways, and under concrete slabs. It is also commonly used for backfilling, trench bedding, and as a general-purpose fill material. The blend compacts well, reducing settling over time, but may not drain as freely as pure gravel. Overall, this material is valued for its balance of load-bearing capacity and ease of installation in both residential and commercial projects.
