Crushed Stone (2″, Unwashed)
Applications & Uses
2" Unwashed Crushed Stone
2" unwashed crushed stone is a durable aggregate produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks into angular fragments approximately 2 inches in size. Unlike washed stone, this material retains fine particles and dust from the crushing process, which can affect its performance in certain applications.
The larger 2" size provides excellent load-bearing capacity and is ideal for use as a base material in construction projects such as road sub-bases, driveways, and large-scale drainage systems. The unwashed attribute means the stone contains fines, which can help with compaction but may also lead to increased dust and less effective drainage compared to washed alternatives. This makes it well-suited for projects where stability and compaction are priorities, but less ideal for decorative or high-visibility surfaces. Both residential and commercial contractors use 2" unwashed crushed stone for foundational support, erosion control, and as fill for large voids.
