4” Gravel
4" gravel is a coarse aggregate consisting of stones that range up to 4 inches in diameter. This material is typically produced by crushing larger rocks and screening them to achieve the desired size range. The large particle size makes this gravel ideal for heavy-duty construction applications where robust support and excellent drainage are required.
The substantial 4" size allows for superior water flow, making it a preferred choice for drainage systems, erosion control, and as a base layer for large-scale commercial projects such as roadways, retaining walls, and culvert bedding. In residential settings, it is often used for French drains, septic system installations, and as a foundation for driveways or parking pads where maximum stability is needed. While its size provides excellent drainage and load-bearing capacity, it is not suitable for areas requiring a smooth or compacted surface, and may be difficult to walk on or grade for decorative purposes.Applications & Uses
