Crushed Stone (1.25″ Mimus)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone in a 1.25" Minus Size Range
Crushed stone in a 1.25" minus size range is a versatile aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into angular fragments, with the largest pieces measuring up to 1.25 inches and smaller particles, including fines, filling the gaps. This gradation ensures a well-compacted, stable base, as the mix of sizes allows the material to lock together tightly when compacted.
The 1.25" minus size is ideal for applications where both strength and compaction are important. It is commonly used as a base material for driveways, roadways, parking lots, and under concrete slabs or pavers. The presence of fines helps reduce voids, making it less prone to shifting and settling over time. While this material offers excellent load-bearing capacity and stability, it is less suitable for drainage applications compared to clean or washed stone, as the fines can impede water flow. Overall, 1.25" minus crushed stone is a reliable choice for foundational work in both residential and commercial construction projects.
