Crushed Stone (Natural)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone - Natural
Crushed stone with a natural attribute is a versatile construction aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into angular fragments. Unlike manufactured or dyed alternatives, natural crushed stone retains its original mineral composition and coloration, offering a classic, earthy appearance that blends seamlessly with most landscapes.
The natural attribute means the stone is free from artificial coatings or colorants, making it an environmentally friendly choice for a variety of projects. Its angular shape provides excellent interlocking properties, which enhances stability and load-bearing capacity. Common applications include use as a base material for driveways, walkways, patios, and as a drainage layer in landscaping or construction projects. The natural look is also favored for decorative borders and garden paths. While its angularity improves compaction and support, it may be less comfortable for barefoot use compared to rounded aggregates.
