Crushed Stone (4″)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone in a 4" Size Range
Crushed stone in a 4" size range is a large, angular aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down natural rock. The resulting material features rough, jagged edges and a substantial size, making it ideal for heavy-duty construction applications where stability and load-bearing capacity are essential.
The 4" size is particularly effective for use as a base layer in road construction, erosion control, and large-scale drainage projects. Its large, angular pieces interlock well, providing excellent structural support and allowing water to flow freely through the gaps, which helps prevent pooling and washouts. While this size is not suitable for decorative or surface applications due to its rough texture and bulk, it excels in foundational roles where compaction and drainage are priorities. This makes it a preferred choice for commercial site preparation, retaining wall backfill, and railroad ballast.
