Modified Crush and Run

The modified Crush and Run, also known as ABC Modified, is a cut rock used for driveways.  The size varies from rock dust to 1 inch in size. The crush and run packs down with time and forms a base layer.   

How much is one cubic yard? 

Coverage: One cubic yard of crush and run covers an area of 9 x 12 at three inches deep. 

Weight: 1 cubic yard of crush and run weighs approximately 2,500 pounds. Most standard pick-up trucks (ex. F150) or single axle 5x8 trailer can hold 1 yard because of the weight.  

Common Uses: 

-The first layer for driveways 

-Filling potholes in driveways 

-Base layer of a “pad” under sheds or other machinery 

Recommendations:

Crush and run is a product that compacts and forms a great base. When calculating the amount of crush and run needed, account for 25-33% compaction.   

For new driveways with no existing gravel, it is recommended you place 3-4 inches of crush and run down to account for the approximate 2 inches of compaction. 

For existing driveways where you want to top dress, 1.5-2 inches should be used to provide coverage.  

For pads under heavy machinery or sheds, you should use 8 inches of crush and run compacted down to a 6 inch base.
