1/5 Crusher Run
A family tradition spanning over 60 years. Serving Cobb, Bartow, Cherokee, Floyd, Polk, Gordon and surrounding counties.
At Kevin Westmoreland Trucking, we understand that exceptional results in construction and landscaping require precision—not just in the delivery, but in the material itself. While 3/4″ Crusher Run provides the structural backbone, 1/5″ Crusher Run is the specialized, finer aggregate essential for achieving a perfect final grade and a stable, smooth sub-base. Backed by our 60 years of family integrity in North Georgia hauling, we ensure you receive this crucial material accurately and efficiently.
The Unique Advantage of Finer Aggregate
Also known by various names such as screenings or decomposed granite (depending on its exact source), 1/5″ Crusher Run is a mix of small, angular crushed stone particles and stone dust. Its distinct, finer composition offers key benefits over larger aggregates:
- Precision Leveling: The material’s small particle size allows it to be spread and compacted to an extremely smooth, near-perfect level. This is vital when the finished surface requires minimal deviation, such as under thin asphalt layers or concrete forms.
- Seamless Transition Layer: It serves as an ideal intermediate layer between a coarse base (like 3/4″ Crusher Run) and a very thin finish material (like mortar or small pavers). It prevents the finer topping from settling into the larger voids of the primary base.
- Superior Compaction in Tight Spaces: Because the fragments are smaller, 1/5″ Crusher Run can be effectively tamped and compacted in areas where heavy rollers cannot reach, such as pathways, small utility trenches, or detailed garden borders.
Key Applications for 1/5″ Crusher Run
Our reliable MACK fleet is frequently delivering bulk quantities of this essential finer aggregate to projects across Metro Atlanta and North Georgia for these specific uses:
- Asphalt and Paving Base: Before hot mix asphalt or paving slabs are laid, a tightly compacted layer of 1/5″ Crusher Run ensures a smooth, stable sub-surface, extending the life and quality of the final road or parking lot.
- Walkways and Pathways: It creates a stable, visually appealing surface for pedestrian areas, especially where a soft, compacted gravel look is desired without the large, loose rocks of traditional gravel.
- Pipe Bedding and Backfill: Due to its fine nature, it is often preferred for bedding sensitive utility pipes and cables. It protects the lines from sharp rocks and compacts neatly around the conduit, providing support without excessive pressure.
- Concrete Preparation: When pouring concrete, using 1/5″ Crusher Run as a final leveling layer on the subgrade ensures the slab is poured on a uniform, dry base, reducing the risk of differential settling.
