#3 Stone in a 1” to 2” Size Range
#3 stone in a 1" to 2" size range is a large, crushed aggregate commonly produced from durable materials such as granite, limestone, or trap rock. The stones are mechanically crushed and screened to ensure consistent sizing, resulting in angular pieces that interlock well when used in construction applications.
The larger 1" to 2" size of #3 stone makes it ideal for heavy-duty uses where stability and drainage are priorities. Its substantial size prevents it from compacting tightly, allowing water to flow freely through the aggregate. This makes #3 stone a popular choice for base layers in road construction, railroad ballast, erosion control, and large drainage projects. In residential settings, it is often used as a base for driveways, under concrete slabs, or for French drains. While its size provides excellent drainage and load-bearing capacity, it is not suitable for finished surfaces or areas requiring a smooth, compacted base.Applications & Uses
