Crushed Stone (1.5″, Clean)
Applications & Uses
Clean Crushed Stone in a 1.5" Size Range
Clean crushed stone in a 1.5" size range is a durable aggregate produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks and screening out fine particles and dust. The "clean" attribute means the material is free from dirt, clay, and smaller debris, resulting in a product that is consistent in size and texture.
This larger 1.5" size is ideal for applications where excellent drainage and stability are required. The absence of fines prevents compaction, making it perfect for use as a base layer in construction projects, drainage fields, septic system installations, and erosion control. It is also commonly used in landscaping for decorative rock beds and as a protective layer around culverts and pipes.
Pros of this material include superior drainage, resistance to shifting, and reduced risk of clogging compared to finer aggregates. However, because it does not compact well, it is not suitable for surfaces that require a solid, level base, such as driveways or walkways. Its clean, uniform appearance also makes it a popular choice for visible landscaping features.
