Granite fines are very fine particles of crushed granite that are produced as a byproduct of the rock-crushing process. These fines are often used as a compactable material for pathways, driveways, and under pavers, providing a smooth, stable surface. Granite fines are valued for their ability to pack tightly, creating a firm foundation that resists shifting or erosion. They can also be used as a soil amendment to improve drainage in planting beds.
