#78 Stone (3/4″ Minus, Granite)
Applications & Uses
#78 Stone - Granite, 3/4" Minus
#78 stone in a 3/4" minus size range is a crushed granite aggregate known for its durability and versatility. Produced by mechanically crushing granite rock, this material features a mix of angular particles up to 3/4" in size, along with smaller fines. The granite composition ensures excellent strength and resistance to weathering, making it suitable for demanding construction environments.
The 3/4" minus sizing means the aggregate contains both larger stones and fine particles, allowing for superior compaction and stability. This makes it ideal for use as a base material under driveways, walkways, patios, and pavers, as well as for backfilling and drainage applications. The angular shape of the granite pieces locks together well, reducing movement and providing a solid foundation. While the fines improve compaction, they may reduce drainage compared to clean stone, so this product is best where stability is a priority. Overall, #78 granite stone in this size range is a reliable choice for both residential and commercial projects requiring a strong, compactable base.
