Gravel (5/8″, Meramec)
Applications & Uses
5/8" Meramec Gravel
5/8" Meramec gravel is a naturally rounded aggregate sourced from river deposits, known for its smooth texture and attractive appearance. The Meramec attribute refers to its origin from the Meramec River region, which produces gravel with a unique blend of earth tones and a polished finish. The 5/8" size range offers a balance between stability and drainage, making it versatile for a variety of construction and landscaping projects.
This gravel size is ideal for pathways, driveways, and decorative landscaping, as the rounded stones are comfortable underfoot and less likely to compact tightly, promoting excellent drainage. It is also commonly used around patios, garden beds, and as a top layer for walkways. The smooth, rounded nature of Meramec gravel reduces the risk of injury, making it a safer choice for areas with frequent foot traffic. However, because it does not lock together as firmly as angular gravel, it may shift more easily under heavy loads, making it less suitable for high-traffic vehicular surfaces. Overall, 5/8" Meramec gravel is valued for its aesthetic appeal, drainage properties, and comfort.
