What Is Crushed Stone?

Crushed stone is produced by crushing solid rock into smaller, angular pieces suitable for different project requirements. It is often used for driveways, drainage areas, foundations, walkways, patios, septic systems, and construction bases, while gravel develops naturally and features a smoother shape often preferred for pathways and decorative landscaping.

Different crushed stone sizes provide varying levels of drainage, compaction, and support for residential, commercial, and construction applications.

Learn About Crushed Stone Delivery

Our 2½-inch crushed stone is one of the largest aggregate sizes available. It is commonly selected for heavy-duty base applications where strength and stability are important.

Typical applications include:

  • Foundation base material
  • Road construction
  • Railroad projects
  • Concrete interlocking paver bases
  • Walkways
  • Driveway base preparation

Its larger size provides excellent structural support beneath finished surfaces.

The 1½-inch crushed stone is commonly used where dependable drainage and durable support are needed. The larger angular pieces allow water to move between the stones while providing a stable foundation.

Common uses include:

  • Drainage systems
  • Septic systems
  • Dry wells
  • Residential roads
  • Commercial roadways
  • Pathways

Dense Graded Aggregate (DGA), often referred to as crusher run, is a blend of crushed stone and fine particles that compact into a firm, stable surface.

Unlike clean crushed stone, DGA contains fines that fill the spaces between the larger stones, making it an excellent choice for projects requiring a solid base.

The ¾-inch crushed stone is one of the most versatile materials we offer. It is commonly used for both residential and commercial projects because it provides a balance of strength, drainage, and appearance.

It is frequently used for:

  • Driveways
  • French drains
  • Landscaping
  • Asphalt foundations
  • Concrete sidewalks
  • Concrete patios
  • Concrete driveways

Our ¾-inch DGA is available upon request throughout our service area. Like other dense graded aggregates, it combines crushed stone with fine particles that compact into a stable foundation.

This material is commonly selected when a compactable base is needed before installing asphalt, concrete, or other finished surfaces.

The ⅝-inch crushed stone provides dependable support for many residential and commercial projects.

It is commonly used beneath:

  • Concrete slabs
  • Walkways
  • Patios
  • Driveways

Its medium size creates a stable base while remaining easy to spread and level during installation.

The ⅜-inch crushed stone is a smaller aggregate that works well for projects requiring a more refined appearance.

Common applications include:

  • Decorative landscaping
  • Walkways
  • Decorative driveway surfaces
  • Drainage projects
  • Asphalt applications

Its smaller size also makes it easier to distribute evenly across finished surfaces.

Stone dust is the finest crushed stone material supplied by AGS Materials & Supply LLC. It has a rougher texture than regular sand and is commonly used during hardscape installation.

Stone dust is often used for:

  • Bedding beneath pavers
  • Filling joints between paving stones
  • Creating smooth, level surfaces
  • Hardscape installations
  • Landscape projects

Its fine consistency allows it to compact well while helping create an even surface for pavers and other landscape features.

How to Choose the Right Crushed Stone Size

Choosing the right crushed stone depends on the specific needs of your project. Larger stone sizes are generally selected for heavy base work and drainage, while smaller materials are often preferred for finished surfaces, walkways, landscaping, and paver installations.

Dense Graded Aggregate (DGA) is commonly chosen when a compactable foundation is required, while clean crushed stone may be better suited for projects where water drainage is important.

If you are unsure which material best fits your project, our team can help you determine the appropriate crushed stone size based on your application and delivery requirements.

Selected gravel stone sizes may suit driveways and parking areas where drainage and durable coverage matter. The right choice depends on traffic, ground conditions, and the desired finish.

Larger clean stone can leave more open space for water to move between the stones. These sizes may suit trenches, drainage channels, foundation areas, and other water-management projects.

Smaller and mid-sized gravel stones can add natural texture to outdoor spaces. They may suit planting beds, borders, garden areas, landscape accents, and other property improvements.

Smaller gravel stone sizes can create an even surface for paths, patios, walkways, and low-traffic areas. Proper edging helps keep the material neatly contained and clearly defined.

Selected stone and gravel sizes may support roadway preparation, general ground coverage, and sitework. The proper size depends on project plans, ground conditions, and intended use.
