#4 Stone for Drainage, 1” to 3” Size Range
#4 stone in a 1" to 3" size range is a coarse aggregate commonly produced by crushing and screening natural rock. This material is specifically selected for its excellent drainage properties, thanks to its large, irregularly shaped pieces that allow water to flow freely through voids. The substantial size range ensures minimal compaction, making it ideal for applications where water movement is critical.
This aggregate is widely used in both residential and commercial projects, including French drains, septic system drainage fields, erosion control, and as a base layer for retaining walls. Its size and open structure make it less suitable for surfaces requiring compaction or a smooth finish, but perfect for preventing water buildup and managing runoff. The main advantage of #4 stone for drainage is its ability to reduce flooding and soil erosion, though its larger pieces may not be suitable for decorative or high-traffic surfaces.Applications & Uses
