Gravel (#4 To 3/8″, Round, Washed)
Applications & Uses
Gravel - Round, Washed, #4 to 3/8"
Round, washed gravel in the #4 to 3/8" size range is a versatile aggregate produced by screening and washing natural river or glacial deposits. The washing process removes dust, clay, and debris, resulting in clean, smooth stones that are gentle to the touch and visually appealing. The round shape minimizes sharp edges, making this gravel safer for bare feet and less likely to compact tightly.
This specific size and attribute combination is ideal for a variety of residential and commercial uses. Common applications include decorative landscaping, playground surfaces, drainage beds, and as a base for patios or walkways. The washed, round stones promote excellent drainage and reduce the risk of clogging, making them especially suitable for French drains and around foundation perimeters. While the lack of angular edges means this gravel is less suitable for load-bearing or compacted surfaces like driveways, its clean appearance and smooth texture make it a top choice for aesthetic and functional outdoor projects.
