Gravel in a 1/2” Minus Size Range
1/2" minus gravel is a versatile construction aggregate composed of crushed stone and fines, with individual pieces measuring up to 1/2 inch in diameter. The "minus" designation means the material includes both the specified maximum size and smaller particles, resulting from the crushing process.
This size and gradation make 1/2" minus gravel ideal for applications requiring excellent compaction and stability, such as base layers for driveways, walkways, patios, and roadways. The presence of fines helps the material lock together, reducing voids and creating a firm, stable surface. While it compacts well and provides a solid foundation, the fines can make it less suitable for drainage-focused projects compared to clean or washed gravel. Overall, 1/2" minus gravel is a practical choice for both residential and commercial projects where a compacted, stable base is essential.Applications & Uses
