#57 Stone (#4 To 1″, Concrete)
Applications & Uses
#57 Stone for Concrete Applications, Size #4 to 1"
#57 stone in a #4 to 1" size range is a versatile crushed aggregate commonly used in concrete mixes. Produced by crushing and screening natural stone, this material features angular edges that help it interlock well within concrete, enhancing structural integrity and load-bearing capacity.
The #4 to 1" size range ensures optimal compaction and reduces voids, making it ideal for concrete work where strength and stability are critical. This size also promotes good drainage, preventing water accumulation that can weaken concrete over time. #57 stone is widely used in residential and commercial projects, including foundations, driveways, walkways, and as a base for slabs and footings. Its angular shape improves bonding with cement, while the consistent sizing ensures even distribution throughout the mix. While it offers excellent drainage and compaction, its larger size may not be suitable for thin or decorative concrete applications.
