#3 Stone (1.5″ To 2.5″, Ballast, Washed)
Applications & Uses
#3 Stone Ballast, Washed (1.5" to 2.5")
#3 stone ballast in a 1.5" to 2.5" size range is a large, washed aggregate commonly used in heavy-duty construction and infrastructure projects. Produced by crushing and screening natural stone, this material is thoroughly washed to remove dust, fines, and debris, resulting in a clean, durable product.
The substantial size of #3 stone makes it ideal for applications requiring robust support and excellent drainage, such as railroad ballast, erosion control, and base layers for large foundations. The washed attribute ensures minimal dust and improved cleanliness, which is especially important for drainage systems and environments where debris could cause issues. While its large size prevents easy compaction, it excels in providing stability and preventing soil movement. This makes #3 washed ballast a preferred choice for both commercial and residential projects needing reliable, long-lasting aggregate.
