Crushed Stone (3″ Minus)

Crushed Stone in a 3” Minus Size Range

Crushed stone in a 3" minus size range is a versatile aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into smaller, angular pieces, with the largest particles measuring up to 3 inches and including all smaller sizes down to fines. This gradation ensures a well-compacted material that locks together tightly, making it ideal for heavy-duty construction applications.




The 3" minus size is particularly valued for its excellent compaction properties and load-bearing capacity. It is commonly used as a base material for roadways, large driveways, parking lots, and building pads, where stability and support are critical. The inclusion of fines helps fill voids, reducing movement and settling over time. While its coarse texture makes it less suitable for decorative or finished surfaces, it excels in foundational and structural roles where strength and durability are priorities.
