Gravel (3″)
Applications & Uses
3" Gravel
3" gravel is a coarse aggregate consisting of stones that range up to 3 inches in diameter. Produced by crushing larger rocks or naturally sourced from riverbeds, this material is known for its substantial size and durability.
The large 3" size makes this gravel ideal for heavy-duty applications where stability and drainage are critical. It is commonly used as a base layer for road construction, driveways, and parking lots, as well as for erosion control and large-scale drainage projects. Its size allows water to flow freely, reducing the risk of pooling and washouts, but it is not suitable for areas requiring a smooth or compacted surface. While 3" gravel is excellent for structural support and managing water runoff, it can be difficult to walk on and is not recommended for finished surfaces or decorative landscaping.
