#57 Stone (#4 To 1″, Basalt)
Applications & Uses
#57 Basalt Stone in #4 to 1" Size Range
#57 stone made from basalt in a #4 to 1" size range is a durable, angular aggregate prized for its strength and versatility. Basalt, a dense volcanic rock, is crushed and screened to produce this material, resulting in hard, angular pieces that interlock well for stability.
The #4 to 1" size range offers excellent drainage while providing a stable base, making it ideal for use in driveways, parking lots, and road bases. Its angular shape helps prevent shifting and compaction, which is especially beneficial for load-bearing applications. This size is also commonly used in French drains, septic systems, and as a backfill material around retaining walls. The natural hardness and resistance to weathering of basalt make this aggregate a long-lasting choice, though its angularity can make it less comfortable for barefoot areas. Overall, #57 basalt stone is a reliable option for both residential and commercial construction projects requiring strength and effective drainage.
