1.5" Gravel

1.5" gravel is a coarse aggregate consisting of durable, naturally weathered or crushed stone fragments screened to a uniform size range of approximately 1.5 inches. This larger size makes it ideal for heavy-duty applications where stability and drainage are key considerations.

The 1.5" size is particularly effective for projects requiring excellent drainage and load-bearing capacity, such as base layers for driveways, road construction, and erosion control. Its substantial size prevents compaction, allowing water to flow freely through the aggregate, which helps reduce pooling and washouts. While this makes it less suitable for surfaces requiring a smooth, compact finish, it excels in structural and drainage roles. Both residential and commercial projects benefit from its durability and low maintenance requirements.
