#4 Crushed Stone in Minnesota

At a Minnesota lake lot, drainage needs attention before work begins, because standing water and spring melt can weaken a road base. Clay soils may retain moisture, and deep frost adds more movement when water remains below a traveled area. #4 Crushed Stone provides wide open spaces within its crushed aggregate, helping water pass through while the angular pieces resist shifting under load.

Build #4 Crushed Stone into the support course below a driveway or cabin road instead of using it as the finished surface. This placement is useful where the ground needs a freely draining aggregate under traffic, including work near the North Shore, the Iron Range, or the St. Croix River. The stone also fits drainage applications and erosion-control work where substantial water flow needs to move through the aggregate without closing the voids.

Heavy-Duty Base

Use beneath driveways and places that see regular traffic for a stable foundation.

Erosion Control

Place this large rock on slopes, in ditches, or along channels to limit washout.

High-Volume Drainage

Its large spaces allow substantial water flow to move through fast.

Gabion Fill

A fitting stone size for gabion baskets and retaining features.

Strong Drainage

The wide gaps let heavy flows of water pass through.

Load Bearing

Helps prevent movement when equipment or vehicles travel over it.

Erosion Resistant

Angular, weighty pieces help hold ground on slopes.

Durable Base

Makes a foundation course built to last.
