#3 Stone, Commercial Grade, 1" to 2" Size Range

#3 stone in a 1" to 2" size range is a large, durable aggregate commonly used in commercial construction projects. Produced by crushing and screening natural rock, this material features angular edges that interlock well, providing excellent stability and load-bearing capacity.

The commercial grade designation ensures consistent sizing and quality, making it ideal for demanding applications such as base layers for roads, heavy-duty driveways, and large-scale drainage systems. The larger 1" to 2" size allows for superior drainage and prevents compaction, which is essential for projects requiring water flow or structural support. While its size makes it less suitable for decorative or surface applications, #3 stone excels in foundational roles where strength and drainage are priorities.
