Gravel (3/4″)
Applications & Uses
3/4" Gravel
3/4" gravel is a versatile construction aggregate composed of crushed stone fragments screened to a uniform size of approximately three-quarters of an inch. This material is typically produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks, resulting in angular pieces that interlock well when compacted.
The 3/4" size strikes a balance between stability and drainage, making it ideal for a wide range of applications. Its moderate size allows for excellent load-bearing capacity while still permitting water to flow through, reducing the risk of pooling or erosion. Common uses include base layers for driveways, walkways, and patios, as well as drainage solutions around foundations and in French drains. The angular shape helps prevent shifting and settling, but it may be less comfortable for barefoot traffic compared to rounded gravel. Overall, 3/4" gravel is a reliable choice for both residential and commercial projects requiring durable, well-draining aggregate.
