Crushed Stone (#10 To 1.25″)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone in #10 to 1.25" Size Range
Crushed stone in the #10 to 1.25" size range is a versatile aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into angular fragments. This gradation includes fine particles (#10) up to larger, more substantial pieces (1.25"), offering a blend of sizes that enhances compaction and stability.
The combination of fine and coarse particles makes this material ideal for applications requiring a solid, stable base, such as under driveways, patios, walkways, and concrete slabs. The angular shape of the crushed stone ensures excellent interlocking, reducing shifting and settling over time. While the fines help fill voids for better compaction, the larger pieces provide structural strength. This size range is also commonly used for road base, sub-base layers, and as backfill around foundations. One consideration is that the presence of fines can reduce drainage compared to larger, more uniformly sized stone, but it significantly improves load-bearing capacity and surface smoothness.
