3" Round, Screened Gravel

3" round, screened gravel is a naturally weathered aggregate, carefully processed to remove fines and undersized particles. The round shape results from years of water erosion, giving each stone smooth edges, while screening ensures a consistent 3-inch size range. This combination makes the material ideal for applications where stability and drainage are key.

The large, rounded stones allow water to flow freely, making this gravel an excellent choice for drainage fields, French drains, and erosion control projects. Its size and shape also make it suitable for use as a base layer in landscaping, around culverts, or as a decorative border in commercial and residential settings. While the roundness improves drainage and reduces compaction, it may not be ideal for surfaces requiring a firm, stable base, such as driveways or walkways. Overall, 3" round, screened gravel is valued for its durability, low maintenance, and superior drainage properties.
