Gravel (1/8″ To 1/4″)
Applications & Uses
Gravel in a 1/8" to 1/4" Size Range
Gravel in the 1/8" to 1/4" size range is a small, naturally occurring or mechanically crushed aggregate commonly used in construction and landscaping. This fine gravel is produced by screening larger stones to achieve a consistent, small particle size, making it ideal for applications where a smooth, compactable surface is required.
The small size of this gravel allows for excellent compaction and a stable base, making it a popular choice for pathways, patios, and as a bedding layer under pavers or bricks. It is also frequently used in residential landscaping for decorative ground cover, as well as in commercial settings for walkways and playground surfaces. The fine texture reduces the risk of tripping and provides a comfortable surface for foot traffic. However, due to its small size, it may not be suitable for high-drainage applications or areas subject to heavy vehicle loads, as it can shift more easily than larger aggregates.
