#4 Stone, Unwashed, 3/4" to 1.5"

#4 stone in a 3/4" to 1.5" size range is a coarse aggregate commonly used in construction and landscaping. This material consists of crushed stone pieces that have not been washed, meaning they retain natural dust and fines from the quarrying process. The unwashed attribute can be beneficial in certain applications where the presence of fines aids in compaction and stability.

The larger size range of #4 stone makes it ideal for heavy-duty drainage projects, base layers for roads, and erosion control. Its angular shape helps lock pieces together, providing structural support for foundations and retaining walls. The unwashed nature may result in more dust during handling and installation, but it can also help the material bind better in sub-base applications. While not typically used for decorative purposes due to its rough appearance and dust content, #4 unwashed stone is a cost-effective choice for robust, load-bearing, or drainage-focused projects.
