Crushed Stone (1 1/2″, Washed, Ca-5)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone, Washed Ca-5, 1 1/2" Size
Washed Ca-5 crushed stone in a 1 1/2" size range is a durable aggregate produced by mechanically crushing and screening natural rock, then thoroughly washing it to remove fines and dust. The "Ca-5" designation refers to a specific gradation commonly used in construction, while the washing process ensures a cleaner, more consistent product.
The 1 1/2" size offers excellent load-bearing capacity and superior drainage, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications such as base layers for roads, driveways, parking lots, and railroad ballast. The washed attribute reduces dust and debris, which improves compaction and minimizes tracking, making it suitable for both residential and commercial projects. While its larger size means it is not ideal for tight compaction or decorative top layers, it excels in structural support and drainage-critical installations.
