Crushed Stone (5″ Minus)

Crushed Stone in a 5” Minus Size Range

Crushed stone in a 5" minus size range is a robust aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into angular fragments, with the largest pieces measuring up to 5 inches and smaller particles filling the gaps. This gradation ensures a mix of coarse and fine material, which enhances compaction and stability.




The substantial size of the largest stones provides excellent load-bearing capacity, making this material ideal for heavy-duty applications such as base layers for roads, large driveways, parking lots, and construction pads. The inclusion of smaller particles (the "minus" component) helps lock the aggregate together, reducing voids and improving structural integrity. While its coarse texture offers superior drainage and resistance to shifting, it may be less suitable for finished surfaces or areas requiring a smooth appearance. Overall, 5" minus crushed stone is valued for its strength, compaction properties, and versatility in demanding construction projects.
