How to install #4 Crushed Stone
-
1
Excavate
Strip topsoil to 6-10", with the depth set by traffic and the frost line in your area.
-
2
Lay geotextile fabric
Optional but worth it; a woven separator stops the base from migrating into native soil.
-
3
Spread base layer
Spread the stone in 2-3 inch lifts and compact each lift with a plate compactor before adding the next.
-
4
Crown the surface
Crown the top ~1/4" per foot toward the edges so water sheds.
