Gravel (3/4″)
Applications & Uses
3/4" Gravel
3/4" gravel is a versatile construction aggregate composed of crushed stone fragments screened to a uniform size of approximately three-quarters of an inch. This material is typically produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks, resulting in angular pieces that interlock well when compacted.
The 3/4" size strikes a balance between stability and drainage. Its moderate size allows for excellent load-bearing capacity, making it ideal for use as a base material under driveways, concrete slabs, and patios. It also provides effective drainage, which is essential for French drains, retaining wall backfill, and septic system installations. The angular shape of the gravel helps it lock together, reducing shifting and settling over time, but it may be less comfortable for barefoot use in decorative pathways compared to rounded alternatives.
Commonly used in both residential and commercial projects, 3/4" gravel is valued for its durability, ease of installation, and reliable performance in a wide range of applications.
