Gravel (3/4″ To 1.5″, Round, Washed)
Applications & Uses
Gravel - Round, Washed, 3/4" to 1.5"
Round, washed gravel in the 3/4" to 1.5" size range is a versatile aggregate produced by screening and washing natural river or glacial deposits. The washing process removes dust, clay, and debris, resulting in clean, smooth stones with a rounded shape. This size range offers a balance between stability and drainage, making it suitable for a variety of construction and landscaping applications.
The round, washed attribute means this gravel is less likely to compact tightly, promoting excellent drainage and reducing the risk of water pooling. It is commonly used for French drains, septic system bedding, and as a base for playgrounds or walkways where a softer, more decorative finish is desired. The smooth, rounded stones are also safer for bare feet and less likely to cause injury compared to angular alternatives. However, because it does not lock together as firmly as crushed gravel, it is less ideal for load-bearing surfaces like driveways or heavily trafficked paths. Overall, this material is valued for its clean appearance, drainage properties, and versatility in both residential and commercial projects.
