#4 Stone (3/4″ To 1.5″, Basalt)
Applications & Uses
#4 Basalt Stone (3/4" to 1.5")
#4 stone in a 3/4" to 1.5" size range, made from durable basalt, is a high-quality aggregate prized for its strength and longevity. Basalt is a dense, volcanic rock known for its superior hardness and resistance to weathering, making it an excellent choice for demanding construction environments.
The 3/4" to 1.5" size range offers optimal drainage while providing substantial load-bearing capacity. This makes #4 basalt stone ideal for use in road base layers, railroad ballast, erosion control, and large-scale drainage projects. Its angular shape helps it lock together, reducing movement and improving stability, but it is less suitable for areas requiring compaction or a smooth finish. For both residential and commercial applications, #4 basalt stone is valued for its durability, excellent drainage properties, and ability to withstand heavy traffic and harsh conditions.
