Crushed Stone (2.5″ Minus)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone in a 2.5" Minus Size Range
Crushed stone in a 2.5" minus size range is a versatile aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into angular fragments, with the largest pieces measuring up to 2.5 inches and smaller particles filling the gaps. The "minus" designation means the material includes a mix of sizes down to fines, which helps it compact well and lock together for stability.
This size and gradation make 2.5" minus crushed stone ideal for heavy-duty base layers in road construction, driveways, parking lots, and building pads. The larger stone provides structural strength, while the fines fill voids for a solid, stable foundation. It is also commonly used for erosion control, backfilling, and as a sub-base for retaining walls. While its excellent compaction and load-bearing properties are major advantages, the presence of fines means it is less suitable for drainage applications compared to clean, uniformly sized stone.
