Crushed Stone (#4 To 1.5″)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone in #4 to 1.5" Size Range
Crushed stone in a #4 to 1.5" size range is a versatile aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into angular fragments. This size range offers a balance between stability and drainage, making it suitable for a variety of construction and landscaping projects.
The larger, angular pieces interlock well, providing excellent load-bearing capacity and resistance to shifting. This makes it ideal for use as a base material under driveways, roads, and parking lots, as well as for railroad ballast and erosion control. The size also allows for efficient drainage, reducing the risk of water pooling and frost heave. While its angularity improves stability, it can be more difficult to compact compared to finer materials, and may not be suitable for surfaces requiring a smooth finish. Overall, this crushed stone size is a reliable choice for both residential and commercial applications where strength and drainage are priorities.
