#3 Stone, Coarse, 1” to 2”
#3 stone in a coarse 1" to 2" size range is a large, angular aggregate commonly produced by crushing natural rock. This material is known for its substantial size and rough texture, which make it highly effective for heavy-duty construction applications. The coarse attribute ensures minimal fines, resulting in excellent drainage and stability.
The larger 1" to 2" size of #3 stone is ideal for foundational support in commercial and residential projects. It is frequently used as a base layer for driveways, road construction, and railroad ballast, as well as for erosion control and large-scale drainage systems. Its size and angularity prevent shifting and settling, but it is not suitable for areas requiring a smooth or compacted surface. While its coarse nature provides superior drainage and load-bearing capacity, it can be challenging to walk on and is not recommended for decorative or finished surfaces.Applications & Uses
