Crushed Stone (1.5″ Minus, Natural)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone, Natural, 1.5" Minus
Crushed stone in a 1.5" minus size range is a versatile aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into angular fragments, with the largest pieces measuring up to 1.5 inches and smaller particles filling the gaps. The "natural" attribute indicates that the stone is sourced and processed with minimal alteration, preserving its inherent color and texture.
The 1.5" minus grading means this material contains a mix of coarse and fine particles, which allows for excellent compaction and stability. This makes it ideal for use as a base layer in road construction, driveways, parking lots, and under concrete slabs. It is also commonly used for erosion control, backfilling, and as a sub-base for retaining walls. The natural composition ensures a durable, long-lasting foundation, though the angular edges may make it less suitable for decorative or barefoot areas. Overall, this aggregate offers strong load-bearing capacity and effective drainage, making it a reliable choice for both residential and commercial projects.
