Granite shot rock is large, rough chunks of granite that are blasted (or "shot") from a quarry wall and left mostly unprocessed, meaning the pieces are irregular and quite large. It’s very strong and heavy, making it ideal for heavy construction and stabilization projects.

Common uses for granite shot rock:

• Erosion control – Stabilizes shorelines, slopes, and embankments against water or wind erosion.

• Building riprap walls – Forms protective barriers along rivers, lakes, and coastal areas.

• Base for very large structures – Creates a tough, supportive foundation under highways, dams, and industrial sites.

• Landscape accents – Used for natural-looking boulder walls, garden borders, or decorative features.
