1.5" Round Gravel

1.5" round gravel is a naturally weathered aggregate, typically sourced from riverbeds or glacial deposits. Its smooth, rounded edges are the result of years of water erosion, making it distinct from angular crushed stone. The 1.5" size range offers a substantial, uniform appearance while minimizing sharp edges.

This larger, rounded gravel is ideal for applications where drainage and aesthetics are priorities. It is commonly used in French drains, dry creek beds, and decorative landscaping, as well as around playgrounds and walkways where a softer, barefoot-friendly surface is desired. The round shape allows water to flow freely between the stones, reducing the risk of pooling and erosion, but it does not compact well, making it less suitable for load-bearing surfaces like driveways or road bases. Its natural look and smooth texture also make it a popular choice for accenting garden beds and water features.
