Gravel (1″)
Applications & Uses
1" Gravel
1" gravel is a versatile construction aggregate consisting of crushed or naturally rounded stones, each measuring approximately one inch in diameter. This size strikes a balance between stability and drainage, making it a popular choice for a wide range of building and landscaping projects.
The 1" size is ideal for applications where both support and water flow are important. It is commonly used as a base material for driveways, walkways, and patios, as well as for drainage solutions such as French drains and septic system beds. The larger stone size resists compaction, ensuring excellent drainage and reducing the risk of pooling or flooding. However, because it does not compact tightly, it may not be suitable for surfaces requiring a smooth, solid finish.
Whether for residential or commercial use, 1" gravel offers durability and reliable performance, making it a practical choice for foundational and drainage-focused projects.
