#3 Stone with Ice Mix Prep

#3 stone with Ice Mix Prep is a large, durable aggregate commonly used in heavy-duty construction and winter maintenance applications. Produced by crushing and screening natural stone, #3 stone typically ranges from 1 to 2 inches in diameter, making it ideal for projects that require substantial load-bearing capacity and effective drainage.

The "Ice Mix Prep" attribute indicates that this stone is specifically prepared for use in ice control and winter road maintenance. Its larger size and angular shape help it resist displacement, providing excellent traction on icy surfaces and reducing the risk of compaction or clumping. This makes it a preferred choice for municipal and commercial snow and ice management, as well as for base layers in road construction, parking lots, and driveways where winter conditions are a concern. While its size offers superior drainage and stability, it is not suitable for areas requiring a smooth, compacted surface.
