Crushed Stone (3/8″ To 1″)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone in a 3/8" to 1" Size Range
Crushed stone in the 3/8" to 1" size range is a versatile aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into angular fragments. This size range offers a balance between compaction and drainage, making it suitable for a wide variety of construction and landscaping projects.
The angular shape of crushed stone ensures excellent interlocking and stability, which is ideal for use as a base material under driveways, patios, and walkways. The 3/8" to 1" size allows for good drainage while still providing enough surface area for compaction, making it a popular choice for French drains, septic system bedding, and erosion control. This size is also commonly used in concrete mixes and as a decorative ground cover. While its angularity improves load-bearing capacity, it may be less comfortable for barefoot traffic compared to rounded aggregates.
