#8 Stone (#8 To 3/8″)
Applications & Uses
#8 Stone in a #8 to 3/8" Size Range
#8 stone in a #8 to 3/8" size range is a small, crushed aggregate commonly produced from granite, limestone, or gravel. The stone is screened to ensure uniform sizing, resulting in angular pieces that are easy to handle and spread.
The #8 to 3/8" size makes this material ideal for applications where good drainage and a stable base are important. Its small, angular profile allows it to lock together while still permitting water to flow through, making it a popular choice for permeable paver bases, drainage systems, and as a bedding layer for patios and walkways. In residential settings, it's often used for garden paths, driveways, and decorative landscaping. Commercially, it's suitable for utility backfill and as a component in concrete mixes.
Pros of this size include excellent drainage, ease of compaction, and versatility. However, its small size means it may shift under heavy traffic if not properly contained. Overall, #8 stone in this size range is a reliable, multipurpose aggregate for both DIY and professional projects.
