Gravel (#4 To 3/8″)
Applications & Uses
Gravel in a #4 to 3/8" Size Range
Gravel in the #4 to 3/8" size range is a versatile aggregate commonly produced by crushing and screening natural stone or river rock. This mid-sized gravel offers a balance between drainage and compaction, making it suitable for a wide variety of construction and landscaping projects.
The #4 to 3/8" size is ideal for applications where stability and drainage are both important. Its moderate particle size allows water to flow through easily, reducing the risk of pooling, while still providing enough surface area for compaction. This makes it a popular choice for pathways, driveways, base layers under concrete or pavers, and as a drainage medium around foundations or in French drains. The size also helps prevent migration and rutting, offering a stable surface for both pedestrian and light vehicle traffic. While it may not compact as tightly as finer materials, its excellent drainage properties and versatility make it a reliable option for both residential and commercial projects.
