Crushed Stone, Clean, 1/4" Size

Clean 1/4" crushed stone is a finely sized aggregate produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks and screening out dust and fines. The "clean" attribute means the material is free from dirt, clay, and other debris, resulting in a product with minimal dust and excellent drainage properties.

The 1/4" size is ideal for applications where a compact, stable base is needed without sacrificing drainage. This makes it a popular choice for bedding under pavers, walkways, and patios, as well as for use in permeable pavement systems and as a top dressing for driveways. Its small, angular particles interlock well, providing stability while remaining easy to level and spread. The clean nature of this aggregate reduces compaction issues and helps prevent weed growth, but it may not be suitable for areas requiring a tightly packed surface. Overall, clean 1/4" crushed stone is valued for its versatility, ease of use, and low maintenance requirements in both residential and commercial projects.
