Crushed Stone & Stone Dust

It can be made from many different stones, such as limestone, granite, and similar, further increasing the spectrum of possibilities.

Uses for Stone Dust and Crushed Stone

Crushed Stone closely resembles gravel; however, crushed stone is made while gravel is created by naturally occurring erosion. Its primary use is in road construction, where it serves as a composite material in asphalt, tarmac, and concrete.

Other less common uses for crushed stone as railroad track ballast, weed suppressor, and erosion control.
