Crushed Stone (5/8″, Washed)
Applications & Uses
Washed Crushed Stone in a 5/8" Size Range
Washed crushed stone in a 5/8" size range is a versatile aggregate produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks and then thoroughly washing the material to remove dust, clay, and fine particles. The washing process ensures a cleaner, more consistent product that is less likely to introduce unwanted debris into your project.
The 5/8" size strikes a balance between compaction and drainage, making it ideal for a variety of applications. Its moderate size allows for good load-bearing capacity while still promoting water flow, which helps prevent pooling and erosion. Common uses include base layers for driveways, walkways, and patios, as well as drainage solutions around foundations and in French drains. The washed attribute reduces dust, making it cleaner to handle and less likely to track into finished spaces. While it may be less suitable for tight compaction compared to finer materials, its cleanliness and drainage properties make it a preferred choice for both residential and commercial projects.
