Why this material
The details that make it worth choosing.
The dark blue-grey shale gives the finished surface more visual impact than traditional mixed-colour Road Crush.
Stone, smaller particles, and packing fines work together to create a connected surface after watering and compaction.
Choose Striker for the finished layer and use Road Crush below it when a deeper base is needed.
