Meramec Gravel in a 3/4" to 1" Size Range

Meramec gravel in a 3/4" to 1" size range is a naturally rounded aggregate sourced from riverbeds, known for its smooth texture and attractive appearance. The Meramec attribute refers to its origin from the Meramec River region, which produces gravel with a unique blend of durability and visual appeal. This material is screened to ensure consistent sizing, making it ideal for a variety of landscaping and construction applications.

The 3/4" to 1" size range offers excellent drainage properties while remaining stable underfoot, making it a popular choice for pathways, driveways, and decorative ground cover. Its rounded shape is gentle on bare feet and less likely to compact tightly, which helps prevent water pooling and promotes healthy soil underneath. Meramec gravel is also commonly used in garden beds, around patios, and as an accent in commercial landscaping projects. While its smoothness enhances safety and aesthetics, it may shift more easily than angular gravel, so it's best used in areas where minimal compaction is desired.
