Crushed Stone, Unwashed, 4" Minus

Crushed stone in a 4" minus size range, unwashed, is a robust aggregate composed of angular fragments up to 4 inches in diameter, along with smaller particles and fines. Produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks, this material is left unwashed, meaning it retains natural dust and fines from the crushing process.

The 4" minus sizing provides excellent compaction and stability, making it ideal for heavy-duty base layers in road construction, large driveways, parking lots, and building pads. The unwashed attribute increases binding between particles, further enhancing load-bearing capacity but also resulting in more dust during installation. While this makes it less suitable for decorative or exposed surfaces, it is highly valued for foundational work where strength and compaction are priorities.
