2" Screened, Round Gravel

2" screened, round gravel is a naturally weathered aggregate, carefully screened to ensure consistent sizing and a smooth, rounded shape. Unlike crushed stone, this gravel is formed by natural erosion processes, resulting in stones with no sharp edges. The 2-inch size offers substantial weight and stability, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications.

The round, screened nature of this gravel means it is free from excess fines and dust, promoting excellent drainage and reducing compaction. This makes it a popular choice for drainage systems, French drains, septic system bedding, and as a base layer for large landscaping projects. Its smooth texture is also safer for bare feet, making it suitable for playgrounds and decorative garden beds. However, because it does not compact tightly, it is less suitable for surfaces requiring a firm, stable base, such as driveways or walkways. Overall, 2" screened, round gravel is valued for its drainage properties, ease of handling, and natural appearance.
