#3 Stone (1″ To 2″, Course)
Applications & Uses
#3 Stone, Coarse, 1" to 2"
#3 stone in a coarse 1" to 2" size range is a large, angular aggregate commonly produced from crushed granite, limestone, or trap rock. Its substantial size and rough texture make it ideal for heavy-duty construction applications where stability and drainage are critical.
The coarse, oversized nature of #3 stone allows for excellent water flow, making it a preferred choice for base layers in road construction, railroad ballast, and large-scale drainage projects. In residential settings, it is often used as a foundation for driveways, retaining wall backfill, or erosion control. While its size provides superior load-bearing capacity and prevents compaction, it is not suitable for finished surfaces or areas requiring a smooth, compacted base. Overall, #3 coarse stone is valued for its strength, durability, and ability to facilitate drainage in demanding environments.
