Gravel (1″, Washed)
Applications & Uses
Washed Gravel in a 1" Size Range
Washed gravel in a 1" size range is a versatile aggregate produced by screening and thoroughly cleaning natural stone fragments to remove dust, clay, and other impurities. The washing process ensures a cleaner, more uniform product, making it ideal for projects where appearance and drainage are important.
The 1" size offers excellent drainage properties while providing enough stability for load-bearing applications. This makes washed 1" gravel a popular choice for French drains, septic system bedding, and foundation backfill. It is also commonly used for driveways, walkways, and as a base material under concrete slabs or pavers. The washed attribute reduces dust and debris, resulting in a cleaner installation and less maintenance over time. However, because of its size and smoothness, it does not compact as tightly as smaller or angular aggregates, making it less suitable for surfaces requiring a firm, compacted base.
