Crusher run (Quarry Process / Item 4) contains crushed stone ranging from 3/4 inch down to microscopic stone dust. It weighs ~2,850 lbs per cubic yard and packs into an impermeable solid base.
Why Stone Dust Matters in Crusher Run
The stone dust acts as a natural binder. When watered and compacted, crusher run sets almost like concrete, preventing weeds and stopping pavers from shifting.
