Crushed Stone (#200 – 3/8″)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone in #200 - 3/8" Size Range
Crushed stone in the #200 - 3/8" size range is a finely graded aggregate produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks into smaller, angular particles. This material is valued for its compactability and stability, making it a versatile choice for a variety of construction and landscaping projects.
The fine to small particle size allows for excellent compaction, which is ideal for creating a solid base under pavers, walkways, and patios. It is also commonly used as a bedding layer for concrete slabs, as backfill material, or for pipe bedding in utility installations. The angular nature of the crushed stone ensures that the particles interlock, providing superior load-bearing capacity and reducing the risk of shifting or settling over time. However, due to its fine texture, it may not be suitable for drainage applications where larger, more open-graded aggregates are preferred. Overall, this size range is a practical choice for projects requiring a stable, compacted surface.
