Gravel (1″, Round, Washed)
Applications & Uses
1" Round, Washed Gravel
1" round, washed gravel is a naturally smooth aggregate produced by screening and washing river or glacial deposits. The washing process removes dust, clay, and debris, resulting in clean, attractive stones with a consistent 1-inch diameter. The round shape means the gravel is less likely to compact tightly, promoting excellent drainage and a softer surface underfoot.
This material is ideal for drainage systems, French drains, septic system bedding, and as a base for playgrounds or landscaping features. Its smooth, washed finish makes it a popular choice for decorative ground cover, garden pathways, and around patios or fire pits. While its rounded shape enhances drainage and safety, it is less suitable for load-bearing applications like driveways, as it may shift under heavy traffic. Overall, 1" round, washed gravel offers a clean, low-maintenance solution for both functional and decorative outdoor projects.
