Gravel (1″)
Applications & Uses
1" Gravel
1" gravel is a versatile construction aggregate composed of naturally weathered or mechanically crushed stone fragments, each measuring approximately one inch in diameter. This size strikes a balance between stability and drainage, making it a popular choice for a wide range of building and landscaping projects.
The 1" size is ideal for applications where both support and water flow are important. It is commonly used as a base material for driveways, walkways, and patios, providing a stable foundation that resists shifting. In drainage systems, such as French drains or around foundation perimeters, 1" gravel allows water to pass through easily, reducing the risk of pooling and erosion. While its larger size makes it less suitable for compacting into a smooth surface, it excels in areas where drainage and load-bearing capacity are priorities. This makes 1" gravel a reliable choice for both residential and commercial projects.
