Crushed Stone Uses
Crushed stone is a building material that has been mechanically crushed and and decreased in size to the requirements of your project. It is very versatile, for use in a wide variety of commercial, residential and public projects. It can be used as an aggregate, with or without a binder, for ready-mix concrete, rip rap, road constructions, railroads, or as the base layer for a new building. Crushed stone is also often used for drainage - septic, road-side drains or retaining walls. Outside of construction, crushed stone can also be used as an agricultural lime for soil neutralization.
Types of Crushed Stone
The type of stone depends on the quarry that is is taken from, but the most common types are Limestone, dolomite and granite. There are three basic phases of producing crushed stone: primary crushing to break down to a workable size, re-crushing to ensure the stones are the correct size for their application. Finally, we then screen the stone for further processing or finished products. All of our crushed and washed stone is certified for construction use. This includes: 3/8 Crushed Stone, ¾ Crushed Stone, 1 ½ Crushed Stone and 3 Crushed Stone.

Modified Rip Rap 4-6"
Rip Rap can be made from a variety of materials, including natural stone, concrete blocks, or other recycled material from building and paving demolition. It is on the larger side and is used in places where water is present. It protects soil from erosion due to concentrated runoff and stabilizes unstable slopes by absorbing the movement from the waterflow.
