The two can either come as a combination or be separated, allowing them to have many applications. 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
Most often, Stone Dust is used as a setting bed for bluestone, cobblestone, and other stone pavers, due to its ability to offer a smooth surface while at the same time supporting the weight of the stone.
Another use for Stone Dust is agriculture, as it changes the pH levels and increases the fertility of the soil.
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.
However, depending on your creativity, it can also be used for landscaping as a walkway, a driveway, a groundcover, and other similar applications.
Other less common uses for crushed stone as railroad track ballast, weed suppressor, and erosion control.
