Crushed Stone, Clean Slate, 3/8" Size

Crushed stone in a clean slate variety and 3/8" size range is a versatile aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger slate rocks into angular fragments. The "clean" attribute means the material is free from fines and dust, ensuring a tidy, low-maintenance finish. The 3/8" size offers a balance between compactability and drainage, making it ideal for a range of construction and landscaping projects.

This specific combination is well-suited for pathways, driveways, and decorative ground cover, as well as for use as a bedding layer beneath pavers or flagstone. The angular shape of the crushed slate helps the stones lock together, providing stability while still allowing water to drain efficiently. The clean, dust-free nature reduces tracking and mess, making it a preferred choice for residential and commercial applications where appearance and cleanliness are important. While it compacts less than finer materials, its excellent drainage and attractive slate appearance make it a popular option for both functional and decorative uses.
