#3 Stone Ballast Granite (1” to 2”)
#3 stone ballast granite in a 1" to 2" size range is a durable, angular aggregate produced from crushed granite rock. This material is specifically sized for heavy-duty applications, with each stone measuring between one and two inches across. The granite composition ensures excellent strength and resistance to weathering, making it ideal for demanding construction environments.
The large, angular size of #3 stone provides superior load-bearing capacity and stability, which is why it is commonly used as railroad ballast, base material for large-scale road construction, and erosion control. Its substantial size allows for excellent drainage while preventing shifting under heavy loads. While not suitable for compacted surfaces or decorative landscaping due to its size, #3 stone ballast granite excels in structural and foundational roles where strength and drainage are priorities.Applications & Uses
