Crushed Stone (3″ To 1′)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone in a 3" to 1' Size Range
Crushed stone in the 3" to 1' size range is a large, angular aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down natural rock. This material is characterized by its substantial size, making it ideal for heavy-duty construction applications where stability and support are critical.
The large size of this crushed stone provides excellent load-bearing capacity and is less likely to shift under pressure, making it a preferred choice for base layers in road construction, erosion control, and retaining wall backfill. Its angular shape helps the stones lock together, enhancing structural integrity but making it less suitable for areas requiring a smooth or compacted surface. While not typically used for decorative landscaping or finished surfaces, this material excels in foundational and drainage projects where strength and durability are paramount.
