#3 Volcanic Stone (1" to 2")

#3 volcanic stone in a 1" to 2" size range is a durable aggregate produced from naturally occurring volcanic rock. This material is known for its lightweight yet strong composition, making it an excellent choice for projects requiring both stability and reduced load. The volcanic origin gives the stone a porous texture, which enhances drainage and reduces overall weight compared to traditional aggregates.

The 1" to 2" size range is ideal for applications where robust support and effective water flow are needed, such as in French drains, erosion control, and large-scale landscaping. Its angular shape helps lock pieces together, providing stability for base layers in road construction or retaining wall backfill. While its lightweight nature makes handling and installation easier, the larger size means it is less suitable for compacted surfaces or areas requiring a smooth finish. Overall, #3 volcanic stone is valued for its drainage properties, ease of use, and natural appearance in both residential and commercial projects.
