#4 Stone (1/2″ Minus)
Applications & Uses
#4 Stone in a 1/2" Minus Size Range
#4 stone in a 1/2" minus size range is a versatile crushed aggregate composed of durable rock fragments that have been mechanically processed to ensure all particles are 1/2 inch or smaller. The "minus" designation means the material includes both the larger 1/2" stones and finer particles, resulting in a well-graded blend.
This specific size and gradation make #4 stone ideal for applications requiring excellent compaction and stability, such as sub-bases for driveways, walkways, and patios. The mix of coarse and fine particles helps lock the material in place, reducing voids and providing a solid foundation. It is also commonly used for backfilling, pipe bedding, and as a base layer under concrete or asphalt. While the fines improve compaction, they may reduce drainage compared to larger, more open-graded aggregates, so this material is best suited for structural support rather than high-drainage needs.
