Crushed Stone (3/4″ Minus, Type A)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone Type A, 3/4" Minus
Crushed Stone Type A in a 3/4" minus size range is a versatile aggregate produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks into angular fragments. The "Type A" designation typically refers to a specific gradation and quality standard, ensuring consistent performance for construction applications. The "3/4" minus" size means the material contains pieces up to 3/4 inch in diameter, along with smaller particles and fines, which help the aggregate compact tightly.
This size and gradation make Crushed Stone Type A ideal for use as a base material under concrete slabs, driveways, and roadways, as well as for pathways and patios. The presence of fines allows for excellent compaction, creating a stable, load-bearing surface that resists shifting and settling. While the angular shape provides superior interlock and load distribution, the fines can make the material less permeable, so it is less suitable for drainage layers compared to clean stone. Overall, 3/4" minus Crushed Stone Type A is a reliable choice for both residential and commercial projects requiring a strong, compactable base.
