Gravel (1″, Unwashed)
Applications & Uses
1" Unwashed Gravel
1" unwashed gravel is a naturally sourced aggregate consisting of stones approximately one inch in diameter, left in their raw state without additional cleaning or processing. This material typically contains a mix of stone, sand, and fine particles, resulting in a rougher texture and a more natural appearance compared to washed gravel.
The 1" size provides excellent drainage while still offering substantial coverage and stability, making it ideal for foundational layers in driveways, rural roads, and construction pads. The unwashed attribute means the gravel retains dust and fines, which can help with compaction and binding in base applications but may create more dust during installation or in dry conditions. Common uses include sub-bases for roads, temporary construction access, and erosion control. While not recommended for decorative or high-visibility surfaces due to its unfinished look and potential for dust, 1" unwashed gravel is a cost-effective, practical choice for heavy-duty, structural, or utility projects.
