1" Gravel for Stable, Finished Surfaces

What It Is
A Do-Everything Gravel for Driveways and Drainage
1-inch gravel is crushed stone or screened rock sized to approximately one inch, making it a practical material for areas that need both stability and drainage. Its size allows it to spread evenly while leaving enough space for water to pass through.
It’s commonly used for driveways, walkways, drainage trenches, French drains, utility work, and excavation projects.
Compared with smaller pea gravel, 1-inch gravel provides a more stable surface, while remaining easier to handle and spread than larger rock. If you’re unsure which material is best suited to your project, our team can help you select the right option.

Common Questions
Gravel 1" FAQ
As the name suggests, 1-inch gravel is typically screened to around 1 inch in size. The pieces are large enough to provide good stability while still being manageable to spread and grade, making the material useful for driveways, drainage, walkways, and other outdoor projects.
Yes. 1-inch gravel is a practical choice for driveways because it provides a stable surface while allowing water to drain through the gaps between the stones. For many driveway applications, it’s placed over a properly prepared and compacted base such as flexbase.
Coverage depends on how deeply you spread the material. One cubic yard covers approximately 160 square feet at 2 inches deep, 100 square feet at 3 inches, 80 square feet at 4 inches, or 54 square feet at 6 inches. Measure your project’s length and width, then use the desired depth to estimate the amount you’ll need.
A cubic yard of gravel typically weighs around 2,400 to 2,900 pounds, depending on the type of material and moisture content. The actual weight can vary, which is why gravel is generally purchased and delivered by the cubic yard.
The main differences are size, shape, and intended use. Pea gravel is smaller and smoother, making it suitable for walkways and decorative areas. Flexbase is made to compact into a strong foundation for driveways, roads, and other load-bearing surfaces. 1-inch gravel offers a larger, more stable stone that works well as a surface layer, particularly for driveways and drainage.
