#56 Stone in a 1/4” to 1” Size Range
#56 stone is a versatile crushed aggregate consisting of angular stones sized between 1/4" and 1". Produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks, this material features sharp edges that help it lock together when compacted, providing stability and strength for a variety of construction applications.
The 1/4" to 1" size range makes #56 stone ideal for projects requiring both drainage and load-bearing capacity. Its intermediate sizing allows water to flow through easily, reducing the risk of pooling and erosion, while still offering enough compaction for use as a base material. Common uses include drainage systems, septic fields, driveways, and as a sub-base for concrete slabs and roadways. The angular shape improves interlock, making it less likely to shift under pressure, though it may be less comfortable for barefoot areas compared to rounded stone. Overall, #56 stone is a reliable choice for both residential and commercial projects where drainage and stability are priorities.Applications & Uses
