Crushed Stone (1″ Minus)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone in a 1" Minus Size Range
Crushed stone in a 1" 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 inch and smaller particles, including fines, filling the gaps. This gradation ensures a well-compacted, stable base that locks together tightly when installed.
The 1" minus sizing is ideal for projects requiring both strength and compaction, such as road bases, driveways, walkways, and underlayment for patios or concrete slabs. The inclusion of fines helps the material compact firmly, reducing voids and providing a solid foundation, while the angular shape improves interlock and load-bearing capacity. While this makes it less suitable for decorative or drainage applications-where cleaner, larger, or more rounded stone is preferred-it excels in structural uses where stability and durability are priorities.
