Gravel (1″ To 1 3/4″)
Applications & Uses
Gravel in a 1" to 1 3/4" Size Range
Gravel in the 1" to 1 3/4" size range is a versatile aggregate commonly used in both residential and commercial construction projects. Produced by crushing and screening natural stone, this gravel features irregular, angular pieces that interlock well, providing stability and strength for a variety of applications.
The larger size range of 1" to 1 3/4" makes this gravel ideal for projects requiring excellent drainage and load-bearing capacity. It is frequently used as a base material for driveways, parking areas, and roadways, as well as for drainage solutions such as French drains and septic system beds. The coarse texture prevents compaction, ensuring water can flow freely through the aggregate, which helps reduce flooding and erosion. While its size makes it less suitable for decorative top layers or pathways where a smoother surface is desired, it excels in structural and drainage roles.
