Gravel in a 3” Minus Size Range
3" minus gravel is a versatile construction aggregate consisting of crushed stone and fines, with individual pieces ranging up to 3 inches in diameter. The "minus" designation means the material includes a mix of larger stones and smaller particles, which helps it compact well and form a stable base.
This size and gradation make 3" minus gravel ideal for heavy-duty applications where strength and stability are essential. It is commonly used as a sub-base for roads, driveways, parking lots, and building pads, especially in areas requiring substantial load-bearing capacity. The blend of coarse and fine particles allows for excellent compaction, reducing voids and providing a solid foundation. However, due to its larger size, it is less suitable for finished surfaces or areas where a smooth appearance is desired.Applications & Uses
