#3 Stone in a 3” Size Range
#3 stone in a 3" size range is a large, coarse aggregate commonly produced by crushing durable natural rock such as granite, limestone, or trap rock. The resulting material consists of angular stones that measure approximately 3 inches in diameter, making it one of the larger standard aggregate sizes available for construction.
The substantial size of #3 stone provides excellent load-bearing capacity and superior drainage properties, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications. It is frequently used as a base layer for highways, large parking lots, and railroad ballast, where stability and drainage are critical. In residential projects, #3 stone is often used for erosion control, retaining wall backfill, and as a foundation for driveways or access roads in areas with poor soil conditions. While its large size prevents easy compaction and may not be suitable for finished surfaces, it excels in structural support and water management.Applications & Uses
