#8 Stone (#8 To 1″)
Applications & Uses
#8 Stone in a #8 to 1" Size Range
#8 stone in a #8 to 1" size range is a versatile crushed aggregate commonly produced from granite, limestone, or gravel. The material consists of angular pieces that typically measure from about 3/8" up to 1" in diameter, making it ideal for a variety of construction and landscaping applications.
The specific size range of #8 to 1" offers a balance between drainage and stability. The smaller particles fill gaps between larger stones, reducing voids and providing a stable base, while still allowing for effective water flow. This makes #8 stone suitable for use in drainage systems, under concrete slabs, walkways, and as a bedding layer for pavers. It is also commonly used in residential driveways and as a decorative ground cover. The angular shape helps the stones lock together, minimizing movement and improving load-bearing capacity, though it may be less comfortable for bare feet compared to rounded aggregates.
