#3 Stone (1″ To 2″, Crushed, Concrete)
Applications & Uses
#3 Crushed Stone for Concrete, 1" to 2" Size Range
#3 crushed stone in a 1" to 2" size range is a durable aggregate produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks, typically limestone or granite. This material is specifically graded for use in concrete applications, ensuring consistent size and quality for structural integrity.
The 1" to 2" size makes #3 stone ideal for heavy-duty base layers, providing excellent load-bearing capacity and drainage. Its angular, crushed shape allows the stones to interlock, reducing movement and settling over time-an essential feature for stable foundations. Common uses include base material for large-scale commercial projects, road construction, erosion control, and as a coarse aggregate in concrete mixes for footings and foundations. While its larger size offers superior drainage and strength, it is less suitable for areas requiring a smooth or compacted surface.
