Crushed Stone (12″ Minus)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone in a 12" Minus Size Range
Crushed stone in a 12" minus size range is a large, angular aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down quarried rock. The "minus" designation means the material includes pieces up to 12 inches in diameter, along with smaller fragments and fines. This broad size range provides excellent interlocking properties, making it ideal for heavy-duty construction applications.
The substantial size of this crushed stone makes it particularly effective for use as a base material in large-scale projects such as road construction, erosion control, and retaining wall backfill. Its angular shape ensures stability and resistance to shifting under heavy loads, while the inclusion of smaller particles helps with compaction. However, due to its size, it is not suitable for decorative landscaping or areas requiring a smooth, finished surface. This material is valued for its durability, load-bearing capacity, and ability to provide long-lasting structural support in demanding environments.
