Crushed Stone (#4 To 1″)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone in #4 to 1" Size Range
Crushed stone in a #4 to 1" size range is a versatile aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into angular fragments. This size range offers a blend of medium to large particles, making it ideal for projects that require both stability and effective drainage.
The #4 to 1" sizing provides excellent load-bearing capacity while allowing water to pass through, reducing the risk of pooling and erosion. This makes it a popular choice for base layers in driveways, road construction, and parking lots, as well as for drainage solutions like French drains and retaining wall backfill. The angular shape of the crushed stone helps it lock together, providing a stable foundation that resists shifting. While it is not as easy to compact as finer materials, its superior drainage and structural support make it a reliable option for both residential and commercial applications.
