1. Crushed Stone - Crushed stone can be purchased at 3/4″, 1.5″ and 2.5″ in diameter, depending on its intended usage. Crushed stone is most frequently used as an aggregate in construction projects, but it can also be used in the production of portland cement and can even act as the surfacing material for a gravel driveway or path. In addition, you might find crushed stone spread as railroad ballast.

2. Washed Clean Stone - Washed clean stone is available in 1/4″, 3/8″ and 3/4″ sizes to meet a variety of needs. Like crushed stone, it is screened, but it is also thoroughly cleaned in order to remove all dust, debris and residue.

3. Pea Gravel - The small, smooth and rounded stones are characterized by a number of interesting colors, including white, tan, brown, gray, blue, red and green. The stones offer shock absorbency and excellent drainage.

4. Quarry Process - Quarry process consists of a deliberate mixture of crushed stone and stone dust fines. The materials are easily compacted and bond together to create a semi-permenant surface. It is choice for constructing a firm foundation or sub base, and can be used in the pavement of driveways and roads.

5. Stone Dust - Stone dust or stone screenings are the finest form of pulverized stone available. It’s often spread below pavers to hold each unit in place, and to fill in the voids between different types of crushed rocks.
