#8 Stone (#8 To 3/8″, Round)
Applications & Uses
#8 Round Stone in a #8 to 3/8" Size Range
#8 round stone in a #8 to 3/8" size range is a naturally rounded aggregate, typically produced by screening and washing river gravel or similar materials. The round shape results from natural weathering and tumbling, giving each stone smooth edges and a uniform appearance.
The #8 to 3/8" size makes this aggregate ideal for applications where good drainage and a finished, decorative look are important. The rounded attribute reduces compaction, making it excellent for drainage systems, French drains, and as a bedding material for pipes. It is also commonly used in landscaping, walkways, playgrounds, and as a top layer for driveways where a softer, more comfortable surface is desired. While its roundness enhances drainage and safety for bare feet, it may not lock together as firmly as angular stone, making it less suitable for load-bearing or high-traffic surfaces that require maximum stability.
