Gravel (3″ To 6″)
Applications & Uses
Gravel in a 3" to 6" Size Range
Gravel in the 3" to 6" size range is a coarse, durable aggregate commonly produced by crushing larger rocks such as limestone, granite, or river rock. This material features irregular, chunky pieces that are significantly larger than standard driveway or landscaping gravel.
The large size of this gravel makes it ideal for heavy-duty applications where stability and drainage are critical. It is frequently used as a base layer for erosion control, retaining wall backfill, and large-scale drainage projects. In commercial settings, it's often employed for construction entrances, culvert bedding, and stabilizing soft ground. While its size provides excellent drainage and resistance to displacement, it is not suitable for surfaces requiring compaction or smooth finishes, such as walkways or patios. This gravel is best chosen for projects where robust support and water flow are priorities.
