Gravel in a 6” Minus Size Range
Gravel in a 6" minus size range is a coarse aggregate consisting of stones up to 6 inches in diameter, with smaller particles and fines included. This material is typically produced by crushing larger rocks and screening them to ensure a mix of sizes, which helps with compaction and stability.
The large size range makes 6" minus gravel ideal for heavy-duty applications where substantial load-bearing capacity and structural support are required. It is commonly used as a base layer for road construction, driveways, and large-scale commercial or industrial projects. The inclusion of fines allows the material to compact well, creating a stable foundation that resists shifting and settling. However, due to its coarse nature, it is not suitable for finished surfaces or areas requiring a smooth appearance. Its excellent compaction and drainage properties make it a reliable choice for foundational work and erosion control.Applications & Uses
