Crushed Stone (1″, Washed, Screened)

Crushed Stone, Washed & Screened, 1” Size

1" washed and screened crushed stone is a versatile aggregate produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks and then washing and screening the material to remove fines and ensure uniform sizing. The washing process eliminates dust and debris, resulting in a cleaner product, while screening ensures that each stone falls within the 1-inch size range.




This specific combination of washing and screening makes the 1" crushed stone ideal for drainage applications, such as French drains, septic system bedding, and foundation backfill, where clean, consistent stone is essential for optimal water flow. It is also commonly used as a base material for driveways, walkways, and patios, providing excellent stability and compaction. The absence of fines reduces the risk of clogging and makes it less likely to retain moisture, which can help prevent frost heave in colder climates. However, because it is less compactable than finer aggregates, it may not be suitable for surfaces requiring a very smooth or tightly packed finish.
