Meramec Gravel, 1.5" to 2"

Meramec gravel in the 1.5" to 2" size range is a naturally rounded, river-washed aggregate sourced from the Meramec River region. This material is prized for its smooth texture and attractive, multi-colored appearance, making it both functional and decorative.

The larger 1.5" to 2" size provides excellent drainage and resists compaction, making it ideal for applications where water flow is important, such as French drains, dry creek beds, and landscape borders. Its rounded shape is gentle underfoot, making it a popular choice for garden pathways, playgrounds, and around patios. While it is less suitable for driveways or areas requiring a tightly packed surface, Meramec gravel's aesthetic appeal and low maintenance make it a favorite for both residential and commercial landscaping projects.
