Gravel (3/4″ To 2.75″)
Applications & Uses
Gravel in a 3/4" to 2.75" Size Range
Gravel in the 3/4" to 2.75" size range is a versatile aggregate commonly produced by crushing natural stone or rock. This broad size spectrum includes medium to large stones, making it ideal for applications where stability and drainage are key considerations.
The larger particle size allows for excellent water flow, reducing the risk of pooling and erosion, which is especially beneficial for drainage systems, French drains, and septic system installations. It is also frequently used as a base material for driveways, roadways, and construction pads, where its size helps prevent shifting and settling under heavy loads. While this gravel is less suitable for compacted surfaces or decorative top layers due to its coarser texture, it excels in structural and drainage roles. Its substantial size makes it easy to handle and spread, but it may not be comfortable for walking barefoot or for use in playgrounds.
