#8 Washed Stone (1" to 1.5")

#8 washed stone in a 1" to 1.5" size range is a clean, crushed aggregate commonly produced from durable natural rock such as granite or limestone. The "washed" attribute means the stone has been thoroughly rinsed to remove dust, clay, and fine particles, resulting in a cleaner, more visually appealing product that minimizes mess and improves drainage.

The 1" to 1.5" size makes this stone ideal for applications where both stability and drainage are important. It is frequently used in residential and commercial drainage systems, French drains, septic system installations, and as a base layer for driveways and walkways. The washed finish reduces the risk of clogging in drainage applications and ensures a neater appearance for decorative landscaping. While its larger size and lack of fines mean it does not compact as tightly as smaller aggregates, this also enhances its drainage capabilities, making it less suitable for load-bearing surfaces but excellent for water management and erosion control.
