Crushed Stone (3″ To 6″)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone in a 3" to 6" Size Range
Crushed stone in the 3" to 6" 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 provide excellent stability and interlocking capabilities in heavy-duty applications.
The larger 3" to 6" size makes this crushed stone ideal for use as a base layer in erosion control projects, such as riprap for shorelines, culvert protection, and slope stabilization. It is also commonly used in commercial construction for stabilizing soft ground, creating access roads, and as a foundation for large retaining walls. While its size offers superior drainage and resistance to displacement, it is not suitable for areas requiring a smooth or compacted surface. This makes it less ideal for driveways or walkways but highly effective for structural and protective uses where durability and drainage are priorities.
