Washed Crushed Stone in a 3" Size Range

Washed crushed stone in a 3" size range is a durable aggregate produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks and then thoroughly washing the material to remove dust, clay, and fine particles. The washing process ensures a cleaner, more consistent product that is less likely to introduce unwanted debris into your project.

The large 3" size makes this stone ideal for heavy-duty applications where robust drainage and stability are required. Common uses include erosion control, base layers for large construction projects, septic system drainage fields, and as a stabilizing material for retaining walls or culvert bedding. The washed attribute reduces dust and helps prevent clogging in drainage systems, making it especially suitable for projects where water flow is critical. While its size and angularity provide excellent load-bearing capacity and drainage, it is not suitable for areas requiring compaction or a smooth surface finish.
