#3 Stone (1″ To 2″, Unwashed)
Applications & Uses
#3 Stone, Unwashed, 1" to 2"
#3 stone in a 1" to 2" size range is a large, coarse aggregate commonly produced from crushed limestone, granite, or gravel. As an unwashed material, it retains natural fines and dust from the crushing process, which can affect its performance in certain applications.
The larger 1" to 2" size makes #3 stone ideal for heavy-duty uses where robust drainage and load-bearing capacity are required, such as base layers for roads, driveways, and construction entrances. The unwashed attribute means the stone may contain more dust and smaller particles, which can help with compaction but may also lead to muddier conditions in wet environments. While not typically used for decorative purposes due to its rough appearance and dust content, unwashed #3 stone is valued for its affordability and effectiveness in stabilizing soft or muddy ground.
