Crushed Stone, Modified, 1" Minus

Crushed stone in a 1" minus size with a modified attribute is a versatile aggregate commonly used in construction and landscaping. "Modified" indicates that the material contains a mix of stone sizes, from 1 inch down to fine particles, which results from mechanically crushing larger rocks. This gradation allows the material to compact tightly, creating a stable and durable base.

The 1" minus size range is ideal for applications where both strength and compaction are important. The blend of larger and smaller particles fills voids efficiently, making it an excellent choice for driveways, parking areas, road bases, and under paver patios. Its ability to lock together reduces shifting and settling over time. While the fine content improves compaction, it can also retain moisture, so proper drainage should be considered in certain projects. Overall, modified 1" minus crushed stone is valued for its stability, load-bearing capacity, and ease of installation in both residential and commercial settings.
