Crushed Stone (1″, Blended)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone, Blended, 1" Size
Crushed stone in a blended, 1" size range is a versatile aggregate produced by mechanically crushing and screening natural rock. The "blended" attribute means this material contains a mix of stone sizes up to 1", resulting in a well-graded product that compacts efficiently and provides excellent stability.
The 1" size is ideal for applications where both drainage and load-bearing capacity are important. The blend of particle sizes fills voids, reducing movement and settling, making it a popular choice for base layers under driveways, roads, patios, and concrete slabs. It is also commonly used for backfilling, retaining wall support, and as a sub-base for pavers. The main advantage of blended crushed stone is its superior compaction and stability compared to uniform-sized aggregates, though it may not drain as freely as larger, single-size stone. This makes it a reliable, cost-effective option for both residential and commercial construction projects.
