Crushed Stone (2″ Minus, Granite)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone - Granite, 2" Minus
Crushed stone made from granite in a 2" minus size range is a durable aggregate produced by mechanically crushing granite rock. The "2" minus" designation means the material contains pieces up to 2 inches in size, along with smaller particles and fines. This gradation allows for excellent compaction and stability, making it a reliable base material.
The granite attribute ensures high strength, resistance to weathering, and longevity, making this crushed stone ideal for demanding applications. Common uses include base layers for roads, driveways, parking lots, and heavy-duty construction pads. It is also suitable for erosion control, retaining wall backfill, and large-scale drainage projects. The mix of sizes compacts well, providing a solid foundation, though the presence of fines means it is less suitable for decorative or high-drainage applications.
