Gravel (2″)
Applications & Uses
2" Gravel
2" gravel is a coarse aggregate consisting of stones that range up to 2 inches in diameter. Produced by crushing and screening natural rock, this material is known for its durability and strength. The larger size of these stones makes them ideal for heavy-duty applications where stability and drainage are critical.
The 2" size is particularly effective for use as a base layer in construction projects such as roadways, driveways, and parking lots, where it provides excellent load-bearing support and promotes efficient water drainage. It is also commonly used in erosion control, septic system installations, and as a foundation for retaining walls. While its large size means it does not compact as tightly as smaller aggregates, this characteristic enhances drainage but may make it less suitable for surfaces requiring a smooth, compact finish.
