#3 Crushed Stone (1” to 2” Size Range)

#3 crushed stone in a 1" to 2" size range is a durable aggregate produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks, typically limestone or granite, into angular fragments. The crushed attribute means each piece has sharp, irregular edges, which help the material lock together when compacted.




The larger 1" to 2" size makes #3 crushed stone ideal for heavy-duty applications where stability and drainage are priorities. Its angular shape prevents shifting, making it a popular choice for base layers under roads, driveways, and railroad ballast. It is also commonly used in erosion control, drainage projects, and as a foundation for retaining walls. While its size and angularity provide excellent load-bearing and drainage properties, it is not suitable for areas requiring a smooth or compacted surface, such as finished walkways or patios.
