#1 Stone (1.5″ To 3.5″, Ice Mix)
Applications & Uses
#1 Stone Ice Mix (1.5" to 3.5")
#1 Stone in an Ice Mix with a 1.5" to 3.5" size range is a large, durable aggregate blend specifically designed for demanding applications where traction and stability are critical. Produced by crushing and screening natural stone, this material features a mix of angular stones that provide excellent interlocking properties and resistance to displacement.
The larger size range of 1.5" to 3.5" makes this Ice Mix ideal for use in winter road maintenance, where it is spread over icy surfaces to improve vehicle and pedestrian traction. Its coarse, angular nature ensures it remains effective on slopes and high-traffic areas, reducing the risk of slipping. Beyond winter use, #1 Stone Ice Mix is also suitable for erosion control, base layers for heavy-duty driveways, and construction entrances where robust drainage and load-bearing capacity are required. While its size and angularity make it less suitable for decorative or compacted surfaces, these same qualities deliver superior performance in challenging, high-impact environments.
