Crushed Stone, Unwashed, Non-Spec, 1" Size

1" unwashed, non-spec crushed stone is a versatile aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into angular fragments approximately one inch in size. Unlike washed stone, this material retains fine particles and dust, as it has not undergone a cleaning process. The "non-spec" designation means it does not meet strict grading or quality standards, making it a cost-effective option for projects where precise specifications are not required.

The 1" size offers excellent drainage properties and is less likely to compact tightly, making it ideal for use as a base material in driveways, temporary construction access roads, and under concrete slabs. Its unwashed nature can lead to increased dust and may not be suitable for finished surfaces or areas where cleanliness is a priority. However, for general fill, erosion control, or backfilling, this aggregate provides reliable performance at a lower price point. Both DIYers and contractors appreciate its affordability and utility for foundational and large-scale commercial applications.
