Gravel (1.5″ Minus)
Applications & Uses
Gravel in a 1.5" Minus Size Range
Gravel in a 1.5" minus size range is a versatile aggregate composed of crushed stone fragments that range from 1.5 inches down to fine particles. This gradation is typically produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks and screening them to ensure a mix of sizes, which includes both larger stones and smaller fines.
The "minus" designation means the material contains a blend of coarse and fine particles, allowing for excellent compaction and stability. This makes 1.5" minus gravel ideal for use as a base material in road construction, driveways, parking pads, and under concrete slabs. It is also commonly used for building pads, pathways, and as a sub-base for retaining walls. The presence of fines helps lock the material in place, reducing voids and providing a solid foundation, though it may not be suitable for drainage applications where clean, washed stone is preferred. Overall, this gravel size is valued for its strength, compaction properties, and versatility in both residential and commercial projects.
