Crushed Stone (1/2″, Unwashed, Crushed)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone, Unwashed, Crushed, 1/2" Size
1/2" unwashed, crushed stone is a versatile aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into angular fragments. Unlike washed stone, this material retains fine particles and dust, which can enhance compaction but may also introduce some surface residue.
The 1/2" size strikes a balance between stability and drainage, making it ideal for a variety of construction and landscaping projects. Its angular shape helps lock pieces together, providing a solid base for driveways, walkways, and patios. The unwashed attribute means it compacts well, which is beneficial for sub-base layers under concrete slabs or pavers, but it may not be suitable for applications where clean, dust-free material is required, such as decorative landscaping or playgrounds. Overall, this crushed stone is valued for its affordability, compaction properties, and suitability for foundational work in both residential and commercial settings.
