#1 Washed Stone (1.5" to 3.5")

#1 washed stone in a 1.5" to 3.5" size range is a large, clean aggregate produced by screening and washing natural stone to remove fines, dust, and debris. The washing process ensures a cleaner product, making it ideal for applications where minimal contamination is important.

The large size of this stone provides excellent drainage and prevents compaction, making it a preferred choice for erosion control, septic system drainage fields, and large-scale French drains. It is also commonly used as a base for construction entrances, stabilization of soft ground, and as a decorative border in landscaping. The washed attribute reduces dust and helps maintain water flow in drainage applications, but the large size means it is not suitable for compacted surfaces or pathways. Overall, #1 washed stone is valued for its cleanliness, durability, and superior drainage properties in both residential and commercial projects.
