#1 Stone (1.5″ To 3.5″, High Friction)
Applications & Uses
#1 Stone with High Friction, 1.5" to 3.5" Size Range
#1 stone in a 1.5" to 3.5" size range with high friction is a large, coarse aggregate commonly produced by crushing durable rock such as granite or limestone. The high friction attribute means the stone surfaces are rough and angular, enhancing interlock and stability when used in construction applications.
The large size and high friction make this material ideal for heavy-duty uses where stability and load-bearing capacity are critical. It is frequently used as a base layer for roadways, railroad ballast, erosion control, and large drainage projects. The rough, angular texture helps prevent shifting and settling, making it less suitable for areas requiring compaction or a smooth finish but excellent for applications where movement resistance and drainage are priorities. This combination is valued in both commercial and infrastructure projects for its durability and performance under heavy loads.
