#1 Stone (3/4″ Minus, Washed, Concrete, Black)

#1 Stone, Washed Concrete, 3/4” Minus, Black

#1 stone in a 3/4” minus size range, washed for concrete use and featuring a black color, is a versatile aggregate ideal for a variety of construction applications. This material is produced by crushing and screening high-quality stone, then thoroughly washing it to remove dust, clay, and other impurities. The “minus” designation means the aggregate includes pieces up to 3/4” in size, along with smaller particles, which helps with compaction and stability.

The washed attribute ensures minimal dust and organic material, making this stone especially suitable for concrete mixes where cleanliness is crucial for strength and durability. Its black color can also add a distinctive, modern look to exposed aggregate concrete or decorative landscaping projects. Common uses include concrete production, drainage systems, base layers for driveways and walkways, and as a decorative ground cover. The blend of sizes allows for good compaction, while the washed finish reduces the risk of contamination in finished concrete. However, the presence of fines may make it less ideal for applications requiring maximum drainage compared to uniformly sized, clean stone.
