Gravel (6″)
Applications & Uses
6" Gravel
6" gravel consists of large, coarse stones screened to a uniform size of approximately six inches in diameter. This material is typically produced by crushing and screening natural rock, resulting in durable, angular pieces that are well-suited for heavy-duty construction applications.
The substantial 6" size makes this gravel ideal for projects requiring significant load-bearing capacity and effective drainage. It is commonly used as a base layer for road construction, erosion control, and large-scale drainage systems. In commercial settings, 6" gravel is often employed for stabilizing soft ground, constructing retaining wall backfill, and creating access roads on construction sites. While its large size provides excellent stability and drainage, it is not suitable for areas requiring a smooth or compacted surface, and may be difficult to work with for smaller residential projects.
