Crushed Stone (1″ To 2″, Trap Rock)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone (Trap Rock) - 1" to 2" Size Range
Crushed stone made from trap rock in a 1" to 2" size range is a highly durable aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down dense, fine-grained volcanic rock. Trap rock is prized for its exceptional hardness and resistance to wear, making it an ideal choice for demanding construction applications.
The 1" to 2" size range offers excellent load-bearing capacity and superior drainage properties, as the larger, angular pieces interlock well while allowing water to flow freely. This makes it especially suitable for use as a base material in road construction, railroad ballast, and heavy-duty driveways. It is also commonly used in erosion control, retaining wall backfill, and large-scale drainage projects. While its angular shape provides stability and prevents shifting, it can be more challenging to compact compared to smaller aggregates, making it less suitable for surfaces requiring a smooth finish. Overall, trap rock crushed stone in this size range is valued for its strength, longevity, and versatility in both residential and commercial projects.
