Crushed Stone (4″ To 6″)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone in a 4" to 6" Size Range
Crushed stone in the 4" to 6" 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 load-bearing capacity in heavy-duty applications.
The large 4" to 6" size makes this crushed stone ideal for use as a base layer in construction projects requiring significant structural support, such as erosion control, retaining wall backfill, and large-scale drainage systems. Its angular shape helps lock the stones together, reducing movement and enhancing stability, while the open voids between pieces promote effective water flow, making it suitable for managing runoff and preventing soil erosion. However, due to its size, this material is not suitable for compacted surfaces or areas requiring a smooth finish. It is best used where strength, drainage, and durability are top priorities.
