What is #4 stone?
#4 stone is large, angular crushed stone with no fines, one of the biggest “numbered” stones in everyday use. It's used where smaller stone would sink, wash out or clog: construction entrance pads, dry wells, heavy drainage and temporary access over soft ground.
#4 stone vs #57 stone
#4 is roughly twice the size of #57. Its big voids move more water and its pieces resist being pushed into mud, which is why it's used for construction entrances and dry wells. For a driveway you drive on every day, #57 over road base is smoother and cheaper to maintain.
#4 stone for construction entrances
A construction entrance pad of large stone knocks mud off tires before trucks reach the road; Florida erosion-control permits usually require one. Check your permit or site plan for the stone size, length and depth it calls for.
Is #4 stone the same as rip rap?
No. Rip rap is much bigger (about 6″ to 12″ and up) and is placed for shoreline and channel armor. #4 sits between #57 and rip rap.
What #4 stone is used for
- Walkways and paths (too coarse)
- Everyday driveways (use #57 or #67 over road base)
- Concrete or asphalt mixes
- Paver bases or fine drainage around small pipe
How much #4 stone do I need, and what does it cost delivered?

What to expect when your #4 stone is delivered
Where will the truck dump it?
Dumped from the street or driveway.
Do I need to be home?
Best if someone is there to show the driver the spot. Not required: ask for a photo of the drop.
Will it be spread?
No. #4 stone arrives in one pile and isn't spread on site, so plan a skid steer, wheelbarrows and rakes, or a crew, to move it into place.
Can the truck reach my backyard?
A backyard works if the entrance is wide enough. Off the public road, you take responsibility for any damage.
How much fits on one truck?
About 21 tons. Larger orders arrive in several loads. The minimum order is 1 ton; small loads cost more per ton because delivery is included in the price, with no separate delivery fee.
