Crushed Stone (1″ To 3″, Basalt, Screened)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone (Basalt, Screened, 1" to 3")
Crushed stone made from basalt and screened to a 1" to 3" size range is a durable, high-strength aggregate ideal for demanding construction applications. Basalt, a dense volcanic rock, is prized for its exceptional hardness and resistance to weathering, making it a reliable choice for long-lasting performance. The screening process ensures consistent sizing, which is crucial for uniform compaction and load distribution.
The larger 1" to 3" size range is particularly effective for projects requiring excellent drainage and stability, such as base layers for roads, railroad ballast, erosion control, and large-scale drainage systems. In residential settings, it is often used for French drains, retaining wall backfill, and heavy-duty driveways. While its angular shape and size provide superior interlocking and load-bearing capacity, it is less suitable for areas needing a smooth, compacted surface. The screened attribute reduces fines and dust, resulting in cleaner installation and improved drainage performance.
