Crushed Stone (1.5″ Minus, Natural, Modified)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone, Natural, Modified, 1.5" Minus
Crushed stone in a 1.5" minus size range, with a natural and modified attribute, is a versatile aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into angular fragments. The "1.5" minus" specification means the material includes pieces up to 1.5 inches in diameter, along with smaller particles and fines. The "modified" attribute indicates that the mix contains a blend of stone sizes, which enhances compaction and stability.
This combination is ideal for applications where a solid, stable base is required, such as under driveways, parking lots, roadways, and patios. The presence of fines allows the material to compact tightly, reducing voids and providing excellent load-bearing capacity. While the angular nature of the stone improves interlock and prevents shifting, the fines can make the surface less permeable, which is beneficial for structural support but may limit drainage compared to clean stone. Overall, 1.5" minus natural, modified crushed stone is a reliable choice for both residential and commercial base layers, offering strength, durability, and ease of installation.
