Crushed Stone (#200 To 9/16″)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone in #200 to 9/16" Size Range
Crushed stone in a #200 to 9/16" size range is a versatile aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into smaller, angular fragments. This gradation includes very fine particles (as small as #200 sieve, or 0.075 mm) up to medium-sized pieces (9/16" or about 14 mm), resulting in a blend that offers both compactability and stability.
The combination of fine and mid-sized particles makes this material ideal for applications requiring a dense, stable base. It is commonly used in road construction, under concrete slabs, walkways, and as a leveling layer for pavers. The fine particles fill voids between larger stones, enhancing compaction and reducing movement, while the larger pieces provide structural strength. This gradation is less suitable for drainage applications, as the fines can restrict water flow, but it excels where a firm, smooth surface is needed. Its angular shape further improves interlock and load-bearing capacity, making it a reliable choice for both residential and commercial projects.
