Gravel (5/8″)
Applications & Uses
5/8" Gravel
5/8" gravel is a versatile construction aggregate composed of crushed stone or natural rock fragments screened to a consistent 5/8-inch size. This mid-sized gravel strikes a balance between stability and drainage, making it a popular choice for a wide range of building and landscaping projects.
The 5/8" size is ideal for creating firm, stable surfaces while still allowing for adequate water flow, which helps prevent pooling and erosion. It is commonly used as a base material for driveways, walkways, and patios, as well as for drainage solutions around foundations and in French drains. In addition, it serves well as a backfill material and for general landscaping needs. The moderate size makes it easy to spread and compact, providing a solid foundation without being too coarse or difficult to work with. However, it may not be suitable for applications requiring a very smooth or decorative finish.
