Crushed Stone in a 4" to 8" Size Range

Crushed stone in the 4" to 8" size range is a large, angular aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down natural rock. This material is known for its substantial size and rough texture, which provide excellent stability and resistance to shifting.

The large 4" to 8" size makes this crushed stone ideal for heavy-duty applications where significant weight-bearing capacity and erosion control are required. It is commonly used in commercial and residential projects for purposes such as riprap for shoreline and slope stabilization, erosion control along drainage channels, and as a base layer for large retaining walls. Its angular shape helps lock the stones together, reducing movement and providing superior structural support. While its size makes it less suitable for compacted surfaces or decorative landscaping, it excels in situations where durability and drainage are priorities.
