Gravel (3/4″ To 1.5″, Round)
Applications & Uses
3/4" to 1.5" Round Gravel
3/4" to 1.5" round gravel is a naturally weathered aggregate, typically sourced from riverbeds or glacial deposits. Its smooth, rounded edges are the result of years of water erosion, making it distinct from angular crushed stone. This size range offers a versatile balance-large enough to provide excellent drainage, yet small enough for easy handling and installation.
The rounded shape of this gravel reduces compaction, making it ideal for drainage applications such as French drains, septic system beds, and around foundation perimeters. It's also a popular choice for decorative landscaping, garden pathways, and as a base for playgrounds, where its smooth texture is safer for bare feet. While its lack of sharp edges makes it less suitable for load-bearing surfaces like driveways (as it may shift under weight), it excels in areas where drainage and aesthetics are priorities.
