Gravel (#8 To 1/2″)
Applications & Uses
Gravel in a #8 to 1/2" Size Range
Gravel in the #8 to 1/2" size range is a versatile aggregate commonly used in both residential and commercial construction projects. This material consists of small, durable stones that are typically produced by crushing larger rocks and screening them to achieve the desired size. The #8 to 1/2" size offers a balance between fine and coarse aggregate, making it suitable for a variety of applications.
The intermediate size of this gravel provides excellent drainage while still offering enough compaction for stability. It is frequently used for pathways, driveways, and as a base layer under concrete slabs or pavers. In landscaping, it serves well for decorative ground cover and garden beds. The manageable size makes it easy to spread and work with, while also reducing the risk of shifting or displacement under light to moderate loads. However, because it is not as fine as sand or as large as traditional driveway gravel, it may not compact as tightly, which is ideal for drainage but less suitable for surfaces requiring a firm, solid base.
