Surge Stone (8″ Minus, Dust)

Surge Stone with Dust, 8" Minus

Surge stone in an 8" minus size range with dust is a robust, coarse aggregate produced by crushing larger rocks into angular fragments, with particles ranging from fine dust up to 8 inches in diameter. The inclusion of dust means the material contains a blend of fine particles and larger stones, resulting in a well-graded mix.

The 8" minus size provides substantial mass and stability, making this material ideal for heavy-duty applications such as base layers for roads, construction entrances, erosion control, and large-scale fill projects. The presence of dust helps the aggregate compact tightly, reducing voids and increasing load-bearing capacity, which is especially beneficial for creating stable foundations. However, the dust content can make the material less suitable for drainage applications, as it may impede water flow compared to cleaner, washed stone. Overall, surge stone with dust in this size range is valued for its strength, compaction properties, and versatility in demanding construction environments.
