#3 Stone, Double Washed, 1" to 2"

#3 stone in a 1" to 2" size range, double washed, is a large, clean aggregate ideal for demanding construction and landscaping applications. Produced by crushing and screening natural stone, this material undergoes an additional washing process to remove dust, clay, and fine particles, resulting in a cleaner, more consistent product.

The larger 1" to 2" size provides excellent drainage and stability, making it a top choice for erosion control, French drains, septic system fields, and as a base layer for heavy-duty driveways or access roads. The double washed attribute ensures minimal dust and debris, reducing maintenance and improving water flow in drainage systems. While its size makes it less suitable for compacting or decorative top layers, #3 double washed stone excels in structural and drainage roles where cleanliness and permeability are priorities.
