4” to 8” Quarry Rock
4” to 8” Quarry Rock:
Our 4” x 8” Quarry Rock is frequently used for construction entrances and other situations, which demand a bony rock material. This is a great product for firming up a very wet or muddy site. The 4” x 8” Quarry Rock has no fine material and is sometimes called light riprap or quarry spalls. The term “spall” refers to a rock that has been broken through a mechanical process into a moderately large size.

Half to One Man Quarry Rock
Half to One Man Quarry Rock:
Our Half Man and One-Man Quarry Rock are typically 25 lbs. to 200 lbs. angular shaped rocks with dimensions varying from 6” to 18”. A typical Half Man rock ranges in size from a large melon to a small watermelon. A One-Man rock is typically about the size of a basketball up to the size of a medium beach ball. The terms “Half Man” and “One-Man” are often the source of some confusion and it is strongly encouraged to view the rock size before ordering it sight unseen.

2" to 4" Quarry Rock
2" to 4" Quarry Rock:
Like its larger cousin (see 4" x 8") 2" x 4" Quarry Rock is frequently used for construction entrances and other situations, which demand a bony rock material. However, the 2" x 4" Quarry Rock is smaller and easier to work with. This product is great for firming up very wet or muddy sites. When ordering please be specific and say 2" x 4" Quarry Rock so it isn't confused with the similarly named 2" x 4" Round Rock, a gravel product used for landscaping and streambeds.
