Crushed Stone
We deliver every grade1a Stone
1A stone is small crushed rock, roughly 1/4 inch across, with the dust washed out. The pieces are angular from crushing, so they lock together underfoot instead of rolling around. It's clean and it drains fast. That's why you'll find it under drain pipes and topping walkways.
The 1A comes from NYSDOT's Section 703 spec. It tells you the screen size and says nothing about what kind of rock the pieces came from. You'll see it crushed from limestone, granite, or river gravel. Whichever rock is close to the pit usually sets the color and the price per ton.

What people use it for
How to choose within 1a stone
Compaction over drainage
Angular pieces lock together. Pick a smaller size when you need the surface to stay put under a driveway or path.
Drainage over compaction
The larger the piece, the more room for water to move through. #1 or #57 for a French drain; #8 or smaller reads as loose gravel.
Washed vs. unwashed
Washed has the dust rinsed out, so it drains faster and won't track into the house. Unwashed compacts harder — better under a paver base.
