Crushed Stone - Cyclopean, Black

Cyclopean crushed stone in a striking black color is a robust construction aggregate known for its large, irregularly shaped pieces. Produced by mechanically crushing durable rock, this material features substantial, angular fragments that provide exceptional structural stability and visual impact.

The cyclopean attribute refers to the oversized, chunky nature of the stone, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications where mass and interlocking strength are essential. Its bold black hue adds a dramatic, modern aesthetic, making it popular for architectural features, retaining walls, and landscape accents. In both residential and commercial projects, cyclopean black crushed stone is commonly used for erosion control, large-scale backfill, and as a base for monumental structures. While its size and shape offer excellent load-bearing capacity and drainage, it is not suitable for areas requiring compaction or smooth surfaces.
