2" to 3" Meramec Gravel

2" to 3" Meramec gravel is a naturally rounded aggregate sourced from river deposits, known for its smooth texture and distinctive appearance. The Meramec attribute refers to its origin from the Meramec River region, which produces gravel with a unique blend of durability and natural beauty.

The large 2" to 3" size range makes this gravel ideal for applications where stability and decorative appeal are important. Its rounded shape allows for excellent drainage, making it a popular choice for landscape beds, dry creek beds, erosion control, and around water features. The size also helps prevent displacement, making it suitable for use as a ground cover in high-traffic areas or as a base layer for larger hardscape projects. While its smoothness enhances safety and comfort for foot traffic, the larger stones are not suitable for compacted surfaces like driveways or walkways. Overall, Meramec gravel in this size range offers both functional and aesthetic benefits for residential and commercial landscaping projects.
