#3A Stone (3/4″ To 1.5″, Modified)
Applications & Uses
#3A Modified Stone (3/4" to 1.5")
#3A Modified Stone in a 3/4" to 1.5" size range is a versatile crushed aggregate blend, engineered for optimal compaction and stability. The "modified" attribute means this material contains a mix of stone sizes along with stone dust, which fills voids and locks the aggregate together when compacted. This combination results in a dense, stable base that resists shifting and settling.
The 3/4" to 1.5" size range provides excellent load-bearing capacity while the inclusion of fines ensures superior compaction compared to clean stone. #3A Modified Stone is commonly used for heavy-duty applications such as road bases, driveways, parking lots, and under concrete slabs. It is also ideal for creating stable sub-bases for patios and walkways. The main advantage of this material is its ability to create a firm, long-lasting foundation, though it may be less suitable for drainage-focused projects due to its reduced permeability.
