#6 Stone in a 3/8" to 3/4" Size Range

#6 stone in a 3/8" to 3/4" size range is a versatile crushed aggregate commonly produced from durable natural rock such as granite, limestone, or gravel. The material is mechanically crushed and screened to ensure consistent sizing, making it ideal for a variety of construction and landscaping applications.

The 3/8" to 3/4" size range offers a balance between compaction and drainage. This mid-sized aggregate is large enough to promote excellent water flow, making it a popular choice for drainage systems, French drains, and septic fields. At the same time, it is small enough to provide a stable base for driveways, walkways, and patios, and is often used as a bedding layer under concrete slabs or pavers. Its size also helps reduce dust and tracking compared to finer materials. While #6 stone is not ideal for areas requiring tight compaction, its drainage properties and stability make it a reliable option for both residential and commercial projects.
