Crushed Stone, Washed, Spec, 1/2"

Crushed stone in a 1/2" size range, washed and produced to spec, is a versatile aggregate ideal for a variety of construction and landscaping projects. This material is manufactured by mechanically crushing durable rock, then washing it to remove fines, dust, and impurities, resulting in clean, angular particles that meet specific grading requirements.

The 1/2" size offers a balance between compaction and drainage, making it suitable for use as a base layer beneath pavers, concrete slabs, and driveways, as well as for drainage applications such as French drains and pipe bedding. The washed attribute ensures minimal dust and debris, which improves worksite cleanliness and reduces the risk of clogging in drainage systems. Because it is produced to spec, consistency in size and quality is guaranteed, making it a reliable choice for both residential and commercial projects. While its angular shape provides excellent stability, it may be less comfortable for barefoot areas compared to rounded aggregates.
