Everything You Need to Know About #4 Crushed Stone
Size and Grading
- Size
- About 1 inch to 2 inches
- Grading
- #4
- Type
- Angular crushed stone
Louisiana ground can stay wet around the Mississippi River, Lake Pontchartrain, and the Atchafalaya Basin, especially where gumbo clay holds water near a pad. #4 Crushed Stone leaves broad voids between its crushed pieces, allowing water to pass through the aggregate instead of remaining within the stone. Its angular shape helps the material resist movement under heavy loads.
For a driveway or slab pad built up over wet ground, place #4 Crushed Stone as the supporting course below the traveled or finished area. That role gives drainage a path through the stone while providing a stable foundation for traffic. It is also suited to erosion-control and drainage work where water volume calls for a heavy, freely draining aggregate.

Customer Reviews
Delta clay finally has a base
Our farm road cuts through Delta clay that turns to soup every time it rains, so we ordered twenty five tons of number four to build up the worst quarter mile. The driver eased the tandem down the section line and dumped it exactly where the flags were. Six months and two tropical storms later the road hasn't rutted once, and the combine gets through without help.

Good stone but the load ran heavy
Needed twenty tons of number four for a turnaround at the deer camp off the forest road near Toledo Bend. The tri-axle got close enough to dump in one big pile, which meant more time with the loader than I planned on. Stone itself is solid and angular, locks together well, and the ruts from hauling firewood are finally gone. Just order a smaller truck if your lane is tight.

Kept the tractor from sinking
We run cattle on soft ground near the bayou and every wet winter the feed truck would bog down at the gate. Louisiana Rock Supply delivered thirty tons of number four stone right where the tandem could dump it, and my husband spread it with the tractor bucket over two days. It has held through two hurricane seasons of rain without disappearing into the mud, which beats the pit run we tried before.

Solved our flooded driveway problem
Ten tons of number four stone went down over the soft spot on our camp road after spring floods. Packed in tight and hasn't budged since. No more getting stuck on the way to the boat launch.
