Crushed Stone, DOT, 1/4" Minus

Crushed stone with a DOT (Department of Transportation) specification in a 1/4" minus size range is a finely graded aggregate produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks. The "minus" designation means the material includes particles up to 1/4" in size, along with fines that fill gaps and promote compaction.

This specific size and grading make it ideal for applications requiring a stable, compacted base, such as under pavers, walkways, and roadways. The DOT attribute ensures the material meets strict quality and performance standards, making it suitable for both residential and commercial projects. Its fine texture allows for excellent compaction and a smooth finish, but it may not provide optimal drainage compared to coarser aggregates. Overall, 1/4" minus DOT crushed stone is valued for its stability, versatility, and compliance with regulatory requirements.
