Crushed Stone (Type 1, Black)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone Type 1 - Black
Crushed Stone Type 1 in black is a high-quality aggregate produced by mechanically crushing durable rock into angular fragments. The "Type 1" designation refers to a well-graded, stable material commonly used as a sub-base in construction projects. Its black color offers a sleek, modern appearance, making it suitable for both functional and decorative applications.
The angular nature of Type 1 crushed stone ensures excellent interlocking and compaction, providing a solid foundation for roads, driveways, patios, and pathways. Its stability makes it ideal for load-bearing layers beneath asphalt or concrete surfaces in both residential and commercial settings. The black color can also enhance the visual appeal of landscaping features, garden paths, or as a contrast in hardscape designs. While its angularity promotes strength and drainage, it may be less comfortable for barefoot use and can be harder to spread evenly compared to rounded aggregates.
