Crushed Stone (2.5″ Minus, Unwashed)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone, Unwashed, 2.5" Minus
Crushed stone in a 2.5" minus size range, unwashed, is a versatile aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into angular fragments. The "minus" designation means the material includes a mix of stone pieces up to 2.5 inches in diameter, along with smaller particles and fines. Because this product is unwashed, it retains natural dust and fines from the crushing process.
The combination of larger stone and fines makes this material ideal for applications where compaction and stability are important, such as base layers for roads, driveways, parking lots, and heavy-use access paths. The unwashed attribute enhances binding, helping the aggregate lock together for a firm, stable surface. However, the presence of fines can create dust during installation and may not be suitable for decorative or drainage-focused projects. Overall, 2.5" minus unwashed crushed stone is valued for its strength, affordability, and excellent compaction properties in both residential and commercial construction.
