Crushed Stone (1″ Minus, Screened)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone, 1" Minus, Screened
Crushed stone in a 1" minus size range is a versatile aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into smaller, angular pieces, with the largest particles measuring up to 1 inch. The "minus" designation means the material includes a mix of sizes from 1 inch down to fine particles, while "screened" indicates that the aggregate has been processed to remove oversized debris, ensuring a consistent gradation.
This size and screening process make 1" minus crushed stone ideal for applications requiring excellent compaction and stability, such as road base, driveways, walkways, and underlayment for patios or pavers. The blend of coarse and fine particles locks together tightly, reducing voids and providing a solid foundation. While its angular shape enhances load-bearing capacity, the fines can make it less suitable for drainage-focused projects. Overall, screened 1" minus crushed stone is a reliable choice for both residential and commercial construction where a stable, compacted base is essential.
