I send #4 out on jobs where smaller stone would wash away. Here's what it handles.
Large Drainage
We see this on detention basin jobs all over Lake Charles. The large voids move water fast enough to handle Louisiana's heavy rain events without backing up.
Railroad Ballast
Track bed material for industrial rail spurs near Westlake and private siding. #4 locks rail ties in place and resists lateral shift under load.
Culvert Protection
Armor around culvert inlets and outlets to stop scour. Small stone washes away. #4 stays put under high-velocity flow.
Commercial Base
Sub-base under heavy commercial pads and warehouse floors. Handles the kind of point loads smaller aggregate can't distribute.
Retaining Walls
I tell contractors to use #4 behind retaining walls in Moss Bluff and Sulphur. It drains fast enough to keep hydrostatic pressure from building.
Erosion Control
Lines ditches and stabilizes slopes. Heavy enough to stay on slopes where smaller stone gets pushed off by runoff.

What is #4 limestone used for?
#4 runs 1.5 to 2.5 inches. Heavy-flow drainage, detention basins, culvert armoring, and commercial sub-base. Smaller grades don't have the void space to move water at the volumes we get during storm season.
What's the difference between #4 and #57 limestone?
#4 is 1.5 to 2.5 inches. #57 is 3/4 inch. If your drainage channel runs significant volume during storm events, #4 is what you want. #57 works for slower residential drainage.
Is #4 limestone good for drainage?
Excellent. The large void space between stones lets water move fast during heavy storms without backing up. The preferred size for detention basins and high-volume drainage channels.
