Gravel (3/4″ Minus)
Applications & Uses
3/4" Minus Gravel
3/4" minus gravel is a versatile crushed stone aggregate where the largest pieces are 3/4 inch in diameter, with smaller particles and fines included. This gradation results from mechanically crushing larger rocks, producing a mix that compacts well and locks together for stability.
The "minus" designation means the material contains a range of sizes down to fine particles, which fill gaps between larger stones. This makes 3/4" minus gravel ideal for applications requiring a solid, stable base-such as driveways, walkways, patios, and under concrete slabs. It is also commonly used for road base, parking areas, and as a sub-base for retaining walls. The fines help the gravel compact tightly, reducing shifting and providing excellent load-bearing capacity, though it may not drain as freely as clean or washed gravel. Overall, 3/4" minus gravel is valued for its strength, compaction, and versatility in both residential and commercial construction projects.
