#12 Stone in a #100 to 1.5" Size Range

#12 stone in a #100 to 1.5" size range is a versatile crushed aggregate, produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into smaller, angular pieces. This specific gradation covers a wide spectrum, from fine particles (as small as #100 sieve) up to larger stones measuring 1.5 inches, offering a unique blend of fine and coarse material.

The broad size range of #12 stone makes it particularly effective for applications requiring both compaction and drainage. The finer particles help fill voids and create a stable base, while the larger stones promote water flow and prevent excessive settling. Common uses include sub-base layers for roads, driveways, and parking lots, as well as backfill for retaining walls and drainage trenches. The mix of sizes can make compaction easier and reduce shifting, though it may not be ideal for decorative top layers due to its varied appearance. This material is valued for its strength, stability, and adaptability in both residential and commercial construction projects.
