Crushed Stone (1.5″ To 3″, Crushed, Concrete)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone, Crushed, Concrete, 1.5" to 3"
Crushed stone in the 1.5" to 3" size range, made from crushed concrete, is a durable and versatile aggregate ideal for heavy-duty construction applications. This material is produced by mechanically crushing reclaimed concrete, resulting in angular, irregularly shaped pieces that interlock well for stability.
The larger 1.5" to 3" size provides excellent load-bearing capacity and superior drainage, making it a popular choice for base layers in road construction, erosion control, and large-scale drainage projects. Its angular texture helps prevent shifting and settling, while the recycled concrete composition offers an eco-friendly alternative to natural stone. While this size is not suitable for compacted surfaces like driveways or walkways, it excels in applications where strength and drainage are priorities, such as under foundations, retaining wall backfill, and construction entrances. The main advantage is its stability and sustainability, though its coarse texture may not be ideal for decorative or pedestrian areas.
