Black Washed, Oversized Gravel

Black washed, oversized gravel is a premium aggregate known for its striking dark color and larger-than-standard stone pieces. The "washed" attribute means the gravel has been thoroughly cleaned to remove dust, clay, and other impurities, resulting in a cleaner, more visually appealing product. The "oversized" designation indicates that the stones are larger than typical gravel, making them ideal for specific structural and decorative uses.

The combination of a washed finish and oversized stones offers excellent drainage and minimal dust, making this gravel a top choice for erosion control, French drains, and large-scale landscaping projects. Its bold black color adds a modern, decorative touch to commercial plazas, garden borders, and high-end residential driveways. While the larger size provides stability and prevents compaction, it may not be suitable for surfaces requiring a smooth, compacted base. Overall, black washed, oversized gravel is valued for its clean appearance, superior drainage, and unique aesthetic appeal.
