Black Basalt Gravel 1 1/4" Clean

Black Basalt Gravel 1 1/4" Clean crushed rock is jet-black in color. This "clean" type is screened to the 1 1/4" size. Smaller particles are washed out of the mix which creates an angular gravel that will settle into place, but resists heavy compaction or adding to muddy conditions. The 1 1/4" size is good for medium-duty applications and displacing water from saturated soils.

Recommended uses

• As a base layer over bare soils when for medium duty applications

• To displace water from muddy areas without adding more fine particles into the mix

• Anywhere you need to stabilize a surface while maintaining or improving drainage

Consider this...

Think of clean gravel as having the ability to "absorb" the fine particles from the surface it's placed on. 1 1/4" clean is great for displacing water from muddy areas that are more than a couple inches deep. But if you're trying to deal with serious mud, take a look at our 2-4" Basalt Quarry Spalls for a heavy-duty stabilizing rock that is tough for saturated soils to swallow.
