Crushed Stone (4″ Minus)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone in a 4" Minus Size Range
Crushed stone in a 4" minus size range is a versatile aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into angular fragments, with the largest pieces measuring up to 4 inches and smaller particles filling the gaps. The "minus" designation means the material includes a mix of sizes from fines up to the specified maximum, resulting in a well-graded blend.
This size and gradation make 4" minus crushed stone ideal for heavy-duty base layers in road construction, driveways, parking lots, and large-scale commercial projects. The inclusion of fines helps the material compact tightly, providing a stable foundation that resists shifting and settling. While its coarse texture offers excellent load-bearing capacity and drainage, it may be less suitable for finished surfaces or areas requiring a smooth appearance. Overall, 4" minus crushed stone is valued for its strength, compaction properties, and reliability in demanding structural applications.
