Gravel (3/8″)
Applications & Uses
3/8" Gravel
3/8" gravel is a versatile construction aggregate composed of small, angular or rounded stones screened to a uniform size of approximately 3/8 inch. This material is typically produced by crushing larger rocks and then sorting them to achieve the desired size range.
The 3/8" size makes this gravel ideal for applications where a compact, stable base is needed without large voids. Its small particle size allows for excellent compaction, making it a popular choice for pathways, patios, and as a bedding layer for pavers or flagstone. In addition, it is commonly used in concrete mixes, landscaping, and as a top dressing for driveways. The fine size also helps reduce tripping hazards and provides a smoother surface, but it may not offer as much drainage as larger gravel. Overall, 3/8" gravel is valued for its versatility, ease of handling, and clean, finished appearance in both residential and commercial projects.
