Crushed Stone (Type 5, Black)

Crushed Stone Type 5 - Black

Crushed Stone Type 5 in a striking black color is a versatile construction aggregate produced by mechanically crushing durable rock into angular fragments. The "Type 5" designation typically refers to a specific gradation and quality standard, ensuring consistent particle size and reliable performance for demanding applications.




The black coloration adds a modern, decorative touch, making this material popular for both functional and aesthetic uses. Its angular shape provides excellent interlock and stability, which is ideal for load-bearing surfaces and erosion control. Common applications include driveways, walkways, parking lots, and as a base material for pavers or asphalt. In commercial settings, it's often used for road construction, drainage layers, and landscaping features. The main advantages of Type 5 crushed stone are its superior compaction, load distribution, and reduced dust compared to unwashed or irregular aggregates. However, its angularity can make it less comfortable for barefoot areas and slightly more challenging to spread evenly by hand.
