Crushed Stone

We deliver every grade

Recycled Stone

Recycled stone is old concrete crushed back down into gravel. Sidewalks, torn-up roads, and demolished foundations run through a crusher, magnets pull out the rebar, and what's left gets screened to size. The pieces come out angular like fresh crushed rock, so they lock together under weight the same way.

You'll also hear it called recycled concrete aggregate, or RCA. It usually runs 20 to 40 percent cheaper than virgin crushed stone because the raw feedstock would've gone to a landfill. It handles the same base and fill jobs as quarry rock, though it's rarely used as a finish layer where you'd see it.

How to choose within recycled stone

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.
