Crushed Stone (2″ To 3″)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone in a 2" to 3" Size Range
Crushed stone in the 2" to 3" size range is a durable aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into angular fragments. This larger size makes it ideal for heavy-duty applications where stability and load-bearing capacity are essential.
The substantial 2" to 3" size allows for excellent drainage and prevents compaction, making it a preferred choice for base layers in road construction, erosion control, and large-scale drainage projects. It is also commonly used as a foundation for retaining walls, railroad ballast, and construction entrances to minimize mud tracking. While its large, angular pieces provide superior stability, they are not suitable for surfaces requiring a smooth finish or easy compaction. This makes it less ideal for pathways or finished landscaping but highly effective for structural and drainage-focused uses.
