Crushed Stone (6″ Minus)

Crushed Stone in a 6” Minus Size Range

Crushed stone in a 6" minus size range is a robust aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into angular fragments, with the largest pieces measuring up to 6 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 6" minus crushed stone makes it ideal for heavy-duty applications where strength and load-bearing capacity are critical. It is commonly used as a base material for large-scale road construction, railroad ballast, erosion control, and retaining wall backfill. The blend of sizes allows for excellent interlocking, reducing voids and providing a stable foundation. However, due to its large particle size, it is not suitable for finish surfaces or areas requiring a smooth appearance. Its primary advantage lies in its ability to support heavy loads and promote drainage, making it a reliable choice for foundational and structural projects.
