#47 Washed Stone (3/8" to 1" Size Range)

#47 washed stone in a 3/8" to 1" size range is a versatile aggregate produced by crushing and screening natural rock, then thoroughly washing it to remove dust, clay, and other impurities. The washing process ensures a clean, debris-free material that is ideal for projects where cleanliness and drainage are priorities.

The 3/8" to 1" size range offers a balanced blend of smaller and mid-sized stones, making it suitable for a variety of applications. The washed attribute reduces dust and fines, improving drainage and minimizing compaction-perfect for use in drainage systems, septic fields, and as a base for concrete or pavers. It is also commonly used in landscaping, driveways, and pathways where a clean, finished appearance is desired. While the lack of fines means it does not compact as tightly as unwashed or smaller aggregates, this characteristic enhances its drainage capabilities and makes it less prone to retaining moisture.
