Crushed Stone (3″ To 5″)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone in a 3" to 5" Size Range
Crushed stone in the 3" to 5" size range is a large, angular aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down natural rock. This material is known for its substantial size and rough texture, which result from the crushing process. The large, irregular pieces provide excellent stability and strength, making this aggregate ideal for heavy-duty construction applications.
The 3" to 5" size is particularly effective for projects requiring significant load-bearing capacity and superior drainage. Common uses include erosion control, base layers for large retaining walls, riprap for shoreline and slope stabilization, and as a foundation for heavy infrastructure such as highways and railroads. While its size makes it less suitable for decorative or compacted surfaces, it excels in situations where movement prevention and water flow are priorities. Its angular shape helps lock pieces together, reducing shifting and enhancing structural integrity.
