Quick answer

Blue Metal Crusher Dust is the fine material left from crushing blue metal. It compacts into a dense, stable surface, making it a cost-effective base for driveways, pavers, pathways and water tanks. Spread it 50–100mm thick for paths or driveways, then compact with a plate compactor or roller, lightly watering if needed.

Common questions about Blue Metal Crusher Dust

What is blue metal crusher dust used for?

It is used as a compacted base for driveways, pavers, pathways and water tank pads, because it packs down into a dense, stable surface.

How thick should crusher dust be laid?

Aim for 50–100mm for paths and driveways, then compact it with a plate compactor or roller. Lightly water it if needed to help it bind.

How much crusher dust do I need?

One cubic metre covers about 20 m² at 50mm or 10 m² at 100mm. Allow a little extra because it compacts down.
