#3 Stone (1″ To 2″, Fine, Washed)
Applications & Uses
#3 Stone, Fine, Washed (1" to 2")
#3 stone in a fine, washed 1" to 2" size range is a versatile aggregate produced by crushing and screening natural stone, then thoroughly washing it to remove dust and debris. The "fine" attribute indicates a smoother texture and more uniform particle shape, while washing ensures a cleaner product with minimal fines.
This specific size and washed finish make #3 stone ideal for drainage applications, such as French drains, septic system bedding, and erosion control, where clean, larger stones promote excellent water flow and reduce clogging. It's also commonly used as a base layer for driveways, road construction, and large-scale landscaping projects. The fine, washed nature of this aggregate means less dust during installation and a neater appearance, though its larger size makes it less suitable for compacting or use as a top surface. Overall, #3 fine, washed stone is valued for its drainage properties, cleanliness, and reliability in heavy-duty applications.
