#4 Stone (3/4″ To 1.5″, Ballast, Granite)
Applications & Uses
#4 Stone Ballast Granite (3/4" to 1.5")
#4 stone ballast granite in a 3/4" to 1.5" size range is a durable, angular aggregate produced from crushed granite rock. This material is specifically sized to provide excellent load-bearing capacity and stability, making it ideal for heavy-duty construction applications. The granite composition ensures long-lasting performance and resistance to weathering.
The larger, angular particles in this size range create substantial void spaces, promoting superior drainage while preventing material compaction. This makes #4 stone ballast granite a preferred choice for railroad ballast, retaining wall backfill, and base layers for roadways and driveways. Its robust nature also suits erosion control and large-scale drainage projects. While its size and angularity offer excellent stability and drainage, it is not suitable for areas requiring a smooth or compacted surface.
