3 inch Railroad Ballast has been screened to remove most of its fines. This creates a uniform size and a more rugged look than our other gravels. Because it does not pack down the way products with fines do, railroad ballast works well for landscaping, drainage, and backfill projects where you want stone that stays loose and lets water move through.
Railroad Ballast is also what we recommend for extremely muddy conditions, especially 2 inches or more of solid mud. This is a large, angular rock product, and it is not recommended to drive on.
Common uses include:
Structure for extremely muddy areas areas
Drainage
Backfill projects
General landscaping where a rugged, uniform look is wanted
This rock is sold by the ton, and one cubic yard is approximately 1.15 tons. If you want help figuring out the right amount for your project, call us at 509-235-4511!
Pickup is available at our yard in Cheney, WA, and we deliver in bulk across the greater Spokane area.
