Crushed Stone - Unwashed

Crushed stone is a versatile construction aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into angular fragments. The unwashed variant retains fine particles and dust from the crushing process, which can influence its performance in various applications.

The unwashed attribute means this material contains more fines, making it easier to compact and ideal for use as a sub-base in roadways, driveways, and under concrete slabs. The presence of dust helps bind the aggregate, providing a stable foundation. However, the extra fines can lead to increased dust during installation and may not be suitable for drainage applications or decorative surfaces where a cleaner appearance is desired. Crushed stone in its unwashed form is a cost-effective choice for foundational work and areas where compaction and stability are priorities.
