Gravel (3/4″)
Applications & Uses
3/4" Gravel
3/4" gravel is a versatile construction aggregate composed of crushed stone fragments screened to a uniform size of approximately three-quarters of an inch. This mid-sized aggregate is produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks, resulting in angular pieces that interlock well when compacted.
The 3/4" size strikes a balance between drainage and stability, making it ideal for a wide range of applications. It is commonly used as a base material for driveways, walkways, and patios, providing a solid foundation that resists shifting. In drainage systems, such as French drains or around perforated pipes, 3/4" gravel allows water to flow freely while preventing soil migration. Its size also makes it suitable for use in concrete mixes and as backfill around retaining walls. While it compacts well, the angular shape can make it less comfortable for barefoot traffic compared to rounded gravel. Overall, 3/4" gravel is valued for its strength, drainage properties, and versatility in both residential and commercial projects.
