Crushed Stone (3/8″ To 2.5″)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone in a 3/8" to 2.5" Size Range
Crushed stone in the 3/8" to 2.5" size range is a versatile aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into angular fragments. This broad size spectrum offers a balance between fine and coarse material, making it suitable for a wide variety of construction and landscaping applications.
The range from 3/8" up to 2.5" allows for excellent drainage while still providing substantial load-bearing capacity. Smaller pieces fill gaps between larger stones, enhancing stability and reducing voids. This makes the material ideal for use as a base layer under roads, driveways, and patios, as well as for drainage solutions such as French drains and septic system beds. The angular shape of crushed stone helps it lock together, resisting movement and compaction, which is beneficial for structural support but may make it less suitable for surfaces requiring a smooth finish. Overall, this size range is valued for its strength, drainage properties, and adaptability in both residential and commercial projects.
