Crushed Stone (3″ To 5″)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone in a 3" to 5" Size Range
Crushed stone in the 3" to 5" size range is a large, angular aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down natural rock. This material is known for its substantial size and rough texture, which provide excellent stability and load-bearing capacity in heavy-duty applications.
The larger 3" to 5" size makes this crushed stone ideal for use as a base layer in construction projects where maximum drainage and structural support are required. It is commonly used in erosion control, retaining wall backfill, culvert bedding, and as a foundation for large-scale roadways or driveways. The angular shape helps the stones lock together, reducing movement and improving stability, but the size makes it unsuitable for areas requiring a smooth or compacted surface. While it offers superior drainage and strength, it is not recommended for finished surfaces or pathways due to its roughness and potential for shifting under foot traffic.
