#1 Stone in a 1.5" to 3.5" Size Range

#1 stone in a 1.5" to 3.5" size range is a large, coarse aggregate commonly produced by crushing and screening natural rock. This material consists of angular or sub-angular stones, making it highly durable and stable for heavy-duty applications.

The larger size of #1 stone provides excellent load-bearing capacity and superior drainage, making it ideal for use as a base layer in road construction, railroad ballast, erosion control, and large-scale drainage projects. Its substantial size prevents compaction, ensuring water can flow freely through the aggregate, which helps reduce flooding and soil erosion. While its size makes it less suitable for decorative or surface applications, #1 stone is a top choice for foundational support in both residential and commercial projects where strength and drainage are priorities.
