Gravel for Concrete, Caltrans Specification (#4 to 1” Size Range)
Gravel in the #4 to 1" size range, produced to meet Caltrans concrete specifications, is a high-quality aggregate designed for use in structural and infrastructure projects. This material is typically sourced from natural riverbeds or quarried rock, then screened and washed to ensure consistency and cleanliness, meeting strict standards for use in concrete mixes.
The #4 to 1" size range provides an optimal balance between workability and strength in concrete applications. Larger aggregate sizes like this reduce the amount of cement paste required, improving durability and reducing shrinkage, while still allowing for proper compaction and finish. The Caltrans attribute ensures the gravel meets rigorous state requirements for public works, making it ideal for highways, bridges, and other critical infrastructure. It is also suitable for residential foundations, driveways, and patios where high-performance concrete is needed. The main advantage of this size and specification is its reliability and compliance with engineering standards, though it may be less suitable for decorative or fine-finish applications.Applications & Uses
