#5 Stone (1/2″ To 1″)
Applications & Uses
#5 Stone in a 1/2" to 1" Size Range
#5 stone is a crushed aggregate typically produced from durable materials such as granite, limestone, or gravel. The 1/2" to 1" size range offers a versatile balance between stability and drainage, making it a popular choice for a variety of construction and landscaping projects.
This mid-sized aggregate is ideal for use as a base material under driveways, roadways, and concrete slabs, where its angular shape helps lock pieces together for enhanced load-bearing capacity. The size allows for excellent drainage, reducing the risk of water pooling and frost heave, while still providing enough compaction for structural support. #5 stone is also commonly used in septic system drain fields, erosion control, and as a bedding layer for underground utilities. Its size makes it less prone to displacement than smaller aggregates, but it may be less suitable for applications requiring a smooth, compacted surface.
