Crushed Stone (3/8″)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone in a 3/8" Size Range
Crushed stone in a 3/8" size range is a versatile aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into angular fragments. This small, uniform size is ideal for projects requiring a stable, compactable base or a decorative surface with a clean, finished look.
The 3/8" size offers excellent compaction properties, making it a popular choice for pathways, patios, and as a top layer for driveways. Its angular shape helps lock pieces together, providing stability and reducing shifting underfoot or under vehicles. This size is also commonly used as bedding material for pavers and as a component in concrete mixes, where its small profile ensures a smooth, even finish. While it compacts well, it still allows for adequate drainage, making it suitable for landscaping and drainage applications. However, its small size may not be ideal for heavy load-bearing applications where larger stone is preferred.
