Crusher Run #1 is a blend of #1 crushed limestone, fine gravel, and rock dust. Unlike clean crushed stone, crusher run contains a range of particle sizes from large pieces down to fine dust, which allows the material to compact into a dense, stable base layer when tamped or driven over.
The rock dust and fine gravel particles in crusher run fill the gaps between larger pieces when compacted, creating an interlocked surface that is significantly more stable than clean stone. This is what makes it the preferred base material for pavers, patios, walkways, and shed pads.
Lay crusher run in layers no deeper than 4 inches and compact each layer before adding the next. A plate compactor gives the best result. Properly compacted crusher run creates a solid, drainage-friendly base that will not shift under load.
