Crushed Stone
We deliver every gradeCrushed Stone Fill Material
Crushed stone fill is coarse rock that's left over from quarry blasting and screening. The pieces are angular, with sharp edges that lock together when you pack them into a hole or trench. Sizes usually run from about 3/4 inch up to 3 inches. Some grades come washed clean, others keep the fines mixed in.
"Fill material" describes how the stone gets used rather than a specific screen size. Contractors use the phrase for any coarse crushed stone that's cheap enough to buy by the yard and stable enough to compact under weight. You'll see #57 stone (about 3/4 inch minus) and 1 1/2 inch crushed gravel in this family, and both work for the same backfill and base jobs. Prices usually run a little lower than washed decorative stone because the fines and off-color pieces don't get pulled out.

What people use it for
How to choose within crushed stone fill material
Compaction over drainage
Angular pieces lock together. Pick a smaller size when you need the surface to stay put under a driveway or path.
Drainage over compaction
The larger the piece, the more room for water to move through. #1 or #57 for a French drain; #8 or smaller reads as loose gravel.
Washed vs. unwashed
Washed has the dust rinsed out, so it drains faster and won't track into the house. Unwashed compacts harder — better under a paver base.
