Crushed Stone (1/2″ Minus, Granite)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone (Granite) - 1/2" Minus
Crushed stone made from granite in a 1/2" minus size range is a versatile aggregate ideal for a variety of construction and landscaping projects. This material is produced by mechanically crushing durable granite rock, resulting in a blend of angular fragments and fine particles. The "minus" designation means the mix includes everything from 1/2" pieces down to stone dust, which helps the material compact tightly.
The 1/2" minus size offers excellent compaction and stability, making it a popular choice for creating solid bases under pavers, patios, walkways, and driveways. Its angular shape locks together well, reducing shifting and settling over time. The granite composition ensures long-lasting durability and resistance to weathering. While the fine particles improve compaction, they can also create a less permeable surface, which is ideal for load-bearing applications but may limit drainage compared to larger, washed aggregates. This material is suitable for both residential and commercial use, offering a reliable foundation for a wide range of projects.
