Gravel in a 1” Minus Size Range
Gravel in a 1" minus size range is a versatile aggregate composed of crushed stone fragments that range from 1 inch down to fine particles. This gradation is typically achieved through mechanical crushing and screening, resulting in a mix that includes both larger stones and smaller fines.
The "minus" designation means the material contains a spectrum of sizes, which allows for excellent compaction and stability. This makes 1" minus gravel ideal for creating solid bases for driveways, walkways, patios, and roadways. It is also commonly used for backfilling, under concrete slabs, and as a sub-base for landscaping projects. The presence of fines helps the material lock together, reducing voids and providing a firm, stable surface. However, the fines can also retain moisture, which may not be ideal for drainage-focused applications. Overall, 1" minus gravel is valued for its balance of compaction, stability, and versatility in both residential and commercial construction.Applications & Uses
