#4 Stone Ballast Granite, 1.5” Minus
#4 stone ballast granite in a 1.5" minus size range is a durable, crushed aggregate produced from high-quality granite rock. The "1.5" minus" specification means the material contains pieces up to 1.5 inches in diameter, with smaller particles included, resulting in a well-graded mix that compacts effectively.
This size and composition make #4 stone ballast ideal for heavy-duty applications where stability and load distribution are critical. Common uses include railroad ballast, base layers for road construction, erosion control, and large drainage projects. The granite attribute ensures excellent hardness and resistance to weathering, while the angular shape of the crushed stone provides superior interlocking and load-bearing capacity. While its larger size offers excellent drainage and structural support, it is less suitable for surfaces requiring a smooth finish or easy compaction for walkways or patios.Applications & Uses
