Crushed Stone (1″ To 3″, Spec)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone, Spec, 1" to 3"
Crushed stone in a 1" to 3" size range with a "Spec" attribute is a durable aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into angular fragments. The "Spec" designation indicates that this material meets specific engineering or industry standards for gradation, quality, and performance, making it a reliable choice for demanding construction applications.
The larger 1" to 3" size range provides excellent load-bearing capacity and superior drainage properties, making it ideal for use as a base material in road construction, erosion control, and large-scale drainage projects. Its angular shape helps lock pieces together, reducing movement and increasing stability under heavy loads. While this size is not suitable for compacted surfaces like driveways or walkways, it excels in applications where drainage and structural support are priorities, such as under riprap, retaining walls, or railroad ballast. The main advantage of this material is its strength and ability to prevent soil migration, though its larger size can make it less suitable for decorative or fine-finish uses.
