Modified stone is a type of driveway/construction stone with many applications in construction and landscaping. Modified stone is different from gravel. Genuine gravel occurs naturally and consists of small stones, often rounded over time by the force of water.
Modified stone begins as large rocks or boulders. They are then crushed, sorted, and sold in various sizes. Sizes range from aggregate —the medium-sized stones used in concrete and cement, to pea gravel. Modified stone is usually sold by the ton, with one ton covering around 1 cubic yard.
Modified stone is used for foundations and the top layers of driveways and unpaved roads, which is why it is often referred to as “driveway stone.” It an important ingredient for creating drainage beds.
