Compactable, Stable & Easy to Use
Crusher dust is a fine, recycled material made from crushed rock or concrete. It’s ideal for creating a compacted base for concrete slabs, driveways, garden paths, and artificial turf. Its fine texture allows for easy levelling and shaping, while its density provides a solid foundation that resists movement over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
These are common questions people ask when planning to use crusher dust for base preparation or landscaping work.
What is crusher dust used for?
Crusher dust is commonly used as a compacted base under slabs, driveways, pathways, or pavers. Its fine particles pack tightly, reducing movement and settling over time. It’s also used for artificial turf underlay or in trench backfill. Because of its texture and affordability, it’s a popular choice for both structural and decorative base layers.
Does crusher dust need to be compacted?
Yes, compacting crusher dust is essential. It ensures the material locks together and forms a stable surface that won’t shift or settle unevenly. Use a plate compactor in layers, especially for driveways and structural areas. Uncompacted crusher dust may feel loose or uneven and won’t provide the same level of durability.
Can I use crusher dust under concrete?
Yes, crusher dust is excellent under concrete slabs. It provides a firm, level base that compacts well and prevents moisture pooling. To prepare the area, level and compact the crusher dust thoroughly before pouring concrete. This helps reduce the risk of cracks or sinking over time and creates a stable footing for your slab.
