#4 Crushed Stone (3/4" to 1.5")

#4 crushed stone in a 3/4" to 1.5" size range is a durable aggregate produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks, typically limestone or granite. The resulting angular pieces offer excellent interlocking properties, making this material ideal for applications where stability and load-bearing capacity are essential.

The larger, angular size of #4 crushed stone provides superior drainage compared to finer aggregates, reducing the risk of water pooling and erosion. This makes it a popular choice for base layers in driveways, road construction, and railroad ballast, as well as for drainage solutions such as French drains and septic system fields. While its size and shape make it less suitable for compacting into a smooth surface, these same qualities enhance its ability to support heavy loads and resist shifting. Overall, #4 crushed stone is valued for its strength, drainage capabilities, and versatility in both residential and commercial construction projects.
