#5 Stone, Unwashed, 1/2" to 3/4"

#5 stone in a 1/2" to 3/4" size range is a versatile crushed aggregate commonly used in construction and landscaping. As an unwashed material, it retains fine particles and dust from the crushing process, which can aid in compaction but may also introduce some debris to the finished project.

The medium size of #5 stone makes it ideal for applications requiring both stability and drainage, such as base layers for driveways, parking lots, and roadways, as well as backfill for retaining walls. The unwashed attribute means it compacts well, providing a solid foundation, but may not be suitable for decorative or exposed uses where cleanliness and appearance are priorities. This material is valued for its affordability and effectiveness in structural applications, though it may generate more dust during installation compared to washed alternatives.
