Gravel (1.75″)
Applications & Uses
Gravel in a 1.75" Size Range
Gravel in a 1.75" size range is a coarse aggregate commonly produced by crushing natural stone or rock. This larger size gravel is notable for its substantial, chunky appearance and is less likely to compact tightly compared to smaller grades.
The 1.75" size makes this gravel ideal for applications where excellent drainage and stability are required, such as in French drains, septic system installations, erosion control, and as a base layer for heavy-duty driveways or access roads. Its large particle size allows water to flow freely, reducing the risk of pooling and washouts. However, because it does not compact well, it is not recommended for finished surfaces or areas requiring a smooth, stable base for paving. This gravel is valued for its durability and load-bearing capacity, making it a reliable choice for both residential and commercial projects where robust support and drainage are priorities.
