Crushed Stone (2″ To 4″, Basalt)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone (Basalt) in a 2" to 4" Size Range
Crushed stone made from basalt in a 2" to 4" size range is a highly durable aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down dense volcanic rock. Basalt's natural hardness and resistance to weathering make it an excellent choice for demanding construction applications. The large, angular pieces in this size range provide superior load-bearing capacity and stability.
This specific size is ideal for use as a base material in heavy-duty projects such as road construction, railroad ballast, erosion control, and large-scale drainage systems. The substantial size of the stones allows for excellent drainage and prevents compaction, making it less suitable for surfaces requiring a smooth finish but perfect for structural support and stabilization. Basalt's inherent strength and resistance to chemical breakdown also make it a long-lasting option for both residential and commercial projects where durability is paramount.
