Gravel (3″ To 5″, Meramec)
Applications & Uses
Meramec Gravel in a 3" to 5" Size Range
Meramec gravel in the 3" to 5" size range is a naturally rounded aggregate sourced from riverbeds, known for its smooth texture and attractive appearance. The Meramec attribute refers to its origin from the Meramec River region, which produces gravel with a unique blend of colors and a polished finish due to years of water erosion.
The larger 3" to 5" size makes this gravel ideal for applications where stability and visual impact are important. It is commonly used in landscaping for decorative ground cover, dry creek beds, and erosion control, as well as in commercial settings for accent borders and large-scale drainage solutions. The rounded shape is gentle on bare feet and reduces the risk of injury, making it suitable for residential gardens and play areas. However, its size and smoothness mean it does not compact well, so it is not recommended for driveways or areas requiring a firm base. Overall, Meramec gravel in this size range offers excellent drainage, low maintenance, and a distinctive, natural look.
