Applications & Uses
Large Gravel: Durable Aggregate for Heavy-Duty Applications
Large gravel is a coarse aggregate composed of naturally weathered or mechanically crushed rock fragments. Its substantial size-typically ranging from 1 inch up to several inches in diameter-makes it ideal for projects requiring robust support and excellent drainage.
The large size of this gravel prevents compaction, allowing water to flow freely through the material. This makes it a preferred choice for drainage systems, French drains, and erosion control. In residential and commercial settings, large gravel is commonly used as a base layer for driveways, under concrete slabs, or as a stabilizing fill for retaining walls and roadways. While its size offers superior load-bearing capacity and drainage, it is less suitable for surfaces requiring a smooth finish or easy compaction. Overall, large gravel is valued for its strength, longevity, and versatility in demanding construction and landscaping projects.
