#8 Stone (#8 To 3/8″, Commercial)
Applications & Uses
#8 Stone, Commercial Grade, #8 to 3/8" Size Range
#8 stone in a #8 to 3/8" size range is a versatile, crushed aggregate commonly used in commercial construction projects. Produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks, this material features angular edges that enhance interlocking and stability in various applications. The commercial grade designation ensures consistent sizing and quality, making it suitable for demanding job site requirements.
The #8 to 3/8" size range offers an optimal balance between drainage and compaction. Its small, uniform particles are ideal for use as a base layer beneath concrete slabs, pavers, and asphalt, as well as for pipe bedding and drainage systems. This size is also popular for walkways and driveways where a stable, yet permeable, surface is needed. The angular shape improves load-bearing capacity but may be less comfortable for barefoot use compared to rounded aggregates. Overall, #8 commercial stone is valued for its reliability, ease of installation, and performance in both residential and large-scale commercial projects.
