Crushed Stone in a 5" Size Range

Crushed stone in a 5" size range is a large, angular aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down natural rock. This material is significantly larger than standard construction aggregates, making it ideal for specialized applications where substantial size and weight are required.

The 5" size offers excellent stability and load-bearing capacity, which is crucial for projects such as erosion control, large-scale drainage systems, and base layers for heavy-duty access roads or construction entrances. Its angular shape helps the stones interlock, reducing movement and providing a solid foundation. However, due to its large size, this material is not suitable for compacting or for use in finished surfaces like driveways or walkways. Instead, it excels in situations where robust support and effective water flow are priorities.
