Brown crusher dust is a fine (dust to 8mm) Quartzite material produced when quartzite rock is crushed. It consists of tiny, angular particles and is known for its earthy brown or beige color, durability, and excellent compaction properties. It is commonly used as a compactable base material, filler, and decorative element in various construction and landscaping projects.

How to Use Brown Cracker Dust
Preparation
Prepare the area where you plan to use White Dust by clearing it of debris, plants, or other obstacles. If using it as a base for paving, ensure the surface is level and compacted.
Layering for Pathways or Driveways
For paths or driveways, spread a layer of White Dust (typically 50-100mm deep) over the prepared surface. Use a rake to distribute it evenly and compact the layer using a mechanical compactor.
Use for Paving
Spread an even layer of White Dust under pavers. The dust should be leveled and compacted before placing the pavers on top to ensure a stable and even base.
Weed Control
To control weeds, lightly spread a layer of White Dust over garden beds or between plants. It can be applied in a thin layer (approximately 10-20mm) to block sunlight and prevent weed growth.
Compaction
When using White Dust in pathways or driveways, it's important to compact it after spreading. Use a mechanical compactor to compress the dust into a firm, solid layer that will provide stability.
Benefits of Brown Dust
Stabilizes Surfaces - White Dust is known for its ability to stabilize surfaces and prevent shifting or settling of gravel and other materials. This makes it ideal for driveways, walkways, and patios, where a solid, durable base is needed.
Cost-Effective - White Dust is an affordable material, making it a budget-friendly option for large-scale landscaping or construction projects.
Low Maintenance - Once compacted and applied, White Dust requires very little maintenance. It stays in place, resists erosion, and does not require regular replenishment like organic materials (e.g., mulch).
Weed Prevention - Helps prevent weeds by blocking sunlight from reaching the soil, reducing the need for herbicides.
Environmentally Friendly - White Dust is a natural product making it an eco-friendly option for landscaping and construction projects. It is non-toxic and poses no harm to the environment.
Durable and Long-Lasting - White Dust is highly durable and resistant to wear, which makes it suitable for both high-traffic areas (like driveways or pathways) and areas that require long-lasting stability, like foundation backfills or erosion control.
