Crushed Stone (4″, Modified)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone, Modified, 4" Size Range
Crushed stone in a modified 4" size range is a robust aggregate produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks into angular fragments, then blending in fines for enhanced compaction. The "modified" attribute means this material contains a mix of stone sizes up to 4 inches, along with stone dust and smaller particles, resulting in a dense, stable base once compacted.
The large 4" size provides excellent load-bearing capacity, while the inclusion of fines fills voids and locks the aggregate in place, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications. This combination is commonly used for sub-bases in road construction, large parking lots, industrial yards, and under heavy structures. It is also suitable for stabilizing soft or wet ground before building. While its coarse texture and size make it less suitable for decorative or finished surfaces, its superior compaction and stability are major advantages for foundational work.
