Crushed Stone (3/4″, Unwashed)
Applications & Uses
3/4" Unwashed Crushed Stone
3/4" unwashed crushed stone is a versatile aggregate produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks into angular fragments. Unlike washed stone, this material retains fine particles and dust, which can enhance compaction but may also introduce some muddiness in wet conditions.
The 3/4" size strikes a balance between stability and drainage, making it suitable for a variety of construction and landscaping projects. Its unwashed attribute means it compacts well, making it ideal for sub-bases under driveways, roadways, and patios, as well as for backfilling and general site grading. However, the presence of fines can reduce drainage efficiency compared to washed stone and may not be suitable for decorative or exposed applications where cleanliness is a priority. Overall, 3/4" unwashed crushed stone is a cost-effective choice for structural fill and foundational work.
