You can also count on the longevity of crushed concrete: it's sturdy and won't be subject to erosion down the line.

Crushed concrete is a great asset when it comes to laying a base for roads and driveways, or when a ditch or culvert needs to be lined.

As it's more environmentally friendly than concrete piping and other materials used for drainage, crushed concrete is a great solution for all drainage applications.
