Gravel in a 1.5” Minus Size Range
1.5" minus gravel is a versatile construction aggregate consisting of crushed stone and fines, with individual pieces ranging up to 1.5 inches in diameter. The "minus" designation means the material includes a mix of larger stones and smaller particles, which helps it compact tightly and form a stable base.
This size and gradation make 1.5" minus gravel ideal for foundational work, such as road base, driveway sub-base, and under concrete slabs. The blend of coarse and fine particles ensures excellent load-bearing capacity and reduces voids, minimizing shifting and settling over time. While it compacts well for structural support, the presence of fines means it is less suitable for drainage applications compared to clean or washed gravel. Overall, 1.5" minus gravel is a reliable choice for both residential and commercial projects requiring a strong, compacted base.Applications & Uses
