Crushed Stone (3″, Clean)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone, Clean, 3" Size
Clean crushed stone in a 3" size range is a durable aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into angular fragments, then thoroughly washing to remove fines and dust. The "clean" attribute means the material is free from clay, silt, and debris, ensuring optimal drainage and minimal compaction.
The large 3" size makes this crushed stone ideal for heavy-duty applications where stability and drainage are critical. It is commonly used as a base layer for road construction, erosion control, retaining wall backfill, and large-scale drainage projects. In residential settings, it can be used for French drains, culvert bedding, or as a foundation for heavy structures. The clean, angular nature of the stone prevents settling and promotes water flow, but its size makes it unsuitable for areas requiring a smooth or compacted surface. Overall, 3" clean crushed stone is valued for its strength, drainage capability, and resistance to shifting under load.
