Surge Stone (2″ To 6″)
Applications & Uses
Surge Stone in a 2" to 6" Size Range
Surge stone in a 2" to 6" size range is a large, coarse aggregate produced by crushing and screening natural stone. This material consists of irregular, angular pieces that are significantly larger than standard gravel, making it ideal for heavy-duty construction applications where stability and support are critical.
The substantial size of surge stone allows for excellent load-bearing capacity and superior drainage, making it a preferred choice for use as a base layer in road construction, erosion control, and retaining wall backfill. Its large, angular pieces interlock to provide structural integrity, but the size also means it is not suitable for areas requiring compaction or a smooth finish. Surge stone is commonly used in both residential and commercial projects for stabilizing soft ground, creating construction entrances, and managing stormwater runoff. While its size makes it less decorative and harder to handle for small-scale landscaping, it excels in providing foundational support and effective drainage in demanding environments.
