Crushed Stone is a versatile construction aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into angular fragments. This process results in a durable material with sharp edges, making it ideal for a wide range of building and landscaping projects.

The angular nature of crushed stone provides excellent interlocking properties, which enhances stability and load-bearing capacity in applications such as road bases, driveways, and walkways. Its rough texture also improves traction, making it a preferred choice for surfaces that need to withstand heavy traffic or resist shifting. Crushed stone is commonly used in both residential and commercial settings for drainage solutions, concrete mixes, and as a base material beneath pavers or asphalt.

One of the main advantages of crushed stone is its ability to promote drainage while providing a solid foundation. However, its angular edges can make it less comfortable for barefoot use in play areas or decorative garden paths. Overall, crushed stone is valued for its strength, versatility, and reliability in a variety of construction and landscaping projects.
