To buy stone dust or sand, call your local stone yard….Placing an Order for Base Building Materials
Also called rock dust, stone dust is more prone than sand to settling and drainage problems when used as a base beneath walkway or patio pavers. Stone dust has a powdery texture because it results from stones being crushed. It also drains poorly, which is a problem in climates that receive a high amount of rainfall.
Since stone dust can form a strong, non-porous surface, it not only protects the base of the area from moisture, it also keeps weeds and grass from growing up between the pavers. Stone dust provides an efficient final base layer and these aspects are what make it a great material to go under patios.
You can buy stone dust at most stone yards and quarries. You may also be able to buy stone dust at your local Lowes or Home Depot. For example, you can buy it at Lowes in a 40-pound bag.
Stone dust is a fine material that absorbs moisture readily, then releases it slowly. In extreme frost-thaw cycles, water-soaked stone dust can actually pump up through the joints, shifting pavers in the process.
