2-1/2” MINUS QUARRY ROCK: The 2-1/2” Quarry Rock is a
well-graded product with plenty of fines material to help it
pack. It is a good road building material, similar to our 2”
Single Pass crushed gravel product, but with a larger
percentage of smaller rock and fines, typically 25-40% passing
the 1/2” screen.
4” – 8” QUARRY ROCK: 4” x 8” Quarry Rock is frequently
used for construction entrances and other situations, which
demand a bony rock material. The 4” – 8” Quarry Rock has no
fine material and is tightly sized within the parameters.
This product is sometimes called light riprap or quarry spalls.
When ordering the material, it is best to refer to it as 4” –
8” Quarry Rock to avoid confusion with other products.
2” – 10” QUARRY SPALLS: 2’ x 10” Quarry Spalls is both
bigger and smaller than the similar 4” – 8” Quarry Rock
product. This is a great product for firming up a very wet or
muddy site. It can be used for construction entrances, though
be aware of the fact that 2” – 10” does not meet the tighter
specifications which are generally required for construction
entrances. The term “spall” refers to a rock that has been
broken through a mechanical process into a moderately large
size.
HALF MAN QUARRY ROCK: Half
Man
Quarry Rock is 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.
BOULDERS: We carry both rounded boulders and large
angular rock, which are sometimes called “One Man”, “Two Man”,
“Three Man” or even larger size rocks. The term “boulder”
generally refers to a round shaped and smooth surfaced gravel,
while broken or angular rocks are generally termed “Quarry
Rock”.
