Crushed Stone (1″, Unwashed)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone, Unwashed, 1" Size Range
Crushed stone in a 1" size range, offered in its unwashed form, is a versatile aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into angular fragments. The unwashed attribute means the material retains fine particles and dust from the crushing process, which can influence its performance in various applications.
The 1" size provides excellent load-bearing capacity and is ideal for projects requiring substantial structural support, such as base layers for driveways, roadways, and parking lots. The presence of fines in unwashed crushed stone can aid compaction, making it suitable for sub-base layers where stability is crucial. However, the additional dust may not be desirable for drainage applications or decorative uses, as it can impede water flow and create a less clean appearance. This material is commonly used in both residential and commercial construction for foundational work, temporary access roads, and as fill material where compaction is a priority.
