Our 3/4-inch gravel is made up of clean, lightly-colored gravel with a maximum 3/4-inch diameter. This product differs from 3/4 minus gravel– a blend of gravel and fines including sand and limestone. Our 3/4” gravel is made up of clean, smooth-surfaced, lightly-colored gravel with a maximum ¾” diameter. This product differs from our 3/4” stone, which is a blend of rocks and fines including, limestone and clay.
3/4-inch gravel has several applications, including:
You can add 3/4-inch gravel to garden beds to promote drainage and protect them from erosion. This type of gravel can also discourage animals from digging around landscaping. Besides its functional purposes, our 3/4-inch gravel is aesthetically pleasing thanks to its neutral earth-tone & gray colors.
Our gravel’s finish also makes it ideal for walkways, dog runs, decks and patios. Be sure to edge the gravel properly with landscape trim or concrete blocks to keep it in place.
Use our gravel as a base for drainage systems and pipe bedding. The size of the gravel enables water to flow easily, preventing stagnation. Gravel also redirects surface runoff from areas where flooding can occur. For instance, gravel walkways shed water to the side, where it penetrates the ground.
Another common use for gravel is in trench drains, which catch surface runoff from hardscaping and downspouts. The spaces between the gravel serve as temporary reservoirs as stormwater soaks into the soil. Gravel trenches prevent erosion and avert water from foundations.
You can also use gravel to promote proper drainage around septic tank drain fields and trees.
3/4-inch gravel acts as a course material for making concrete mixes. It’s beneficial as a base material for building walkways and retaining walls, providing stable foundations that prevent settling. You can also use it to level a site before building a deck or as an aggregate for installing fence posts.
