Crushed Stone (1.25″, Washed)
Applications & Uses
Washed Crushed Stone in a 1.25" Size Range
Washed crushed stone in a 1.25" size range is a durable 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 1.25" size offers excellent drainage properties, making it ideal for use in septic system installations, French drains, and other drainage applications. Its larger, angular pieces interlock well, providing stability for base layers in road construction, driveways, and parking lots, while the washed attribute reduces the risk of compaction and clogging. This material is also commonly used as a base for retaining walls and as backfill around foundations. The main advantage of this washed, larger-sized stone is its ability to promote water flow and resist settling, though it is less suitable for areas requiring a smooth, compacted surface.
