Crushed Stone in a 4" to 1" Size Range

Crushed stone in the 4" to 1" size range is a versatile aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into angular fragments. This material is known for its durability and strength, making it a reliable choice for demanding construction applications.

The larger size range of 4" to 1" provides excellent load-bearing capacity and allows for efficient drainage, which is especially important in heavy-duty projects. Its angular shape helps the stones lock together, creating a stable base that resists shifting. Common uses include base layers for roads, driveways, and parking lots, as well as erosion control, retaining wall backfill, and large-scale drainage solutions. While its size makes it less suitable for decorative or finish surfaces, it excels in structural and foundational roles where stability and drainage are priorities.
