Crushed Stone (6″)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone in a 6" Size Range
Crushed stone in a 6" size range is a large, angular aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down natural rock. This material is characterized by its substantial size and rough, irregular edges, making it ideal for heavy-duty construction applications where stability and load-bearing capacity are essential.
The 6" size is particularly effective for use as a base layer in large-scale projects such as road construction, erosion control, and retaining wall backfill. Its large, angular pieces interlock well, providing excellent structural support and allowing for efficient drainage, which helps prevent water accumulation and soil instability. While this size is not suitable for decorative or surface applications due to its bulk and roughness, it excels in foundational roles where compaction and strength are priorities. Note that due to its size, it is not easily compacted by hand and may require heavy equipment for installation.
