Gravel (1/2″)
Applications & Uses
1/2" Gravel
1/2" gravel is a versatile construction aggregate composed of small, naturally weathered or mechanically crushed stones. The 1/2" size range refers to individual pieces averaging half an inch in diameter, making this material ideal for a variety of construction and landscaping applications.
The moderate size of 1/2" gravel offers a balance between compaction and drainage. It is small enough to create a stable surface for pathways, patios, and driveways, yet large enough to allow water to flow through, reducing the risk of puddling and erosion. This makes it a popular choice for both residential and commercial projects, including walkways, base layers for pavers, drainage systems, and decorative ground cover. While it compacts better than larger gravel, it still provides good drainage and is easy to spread. However, it may shift under heavy traffic if not properly contained.
