Crushed Stone (3/8″, Hard)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone, Hard, 3/8" Size
Crushed stone in a hard, 3/8" size range is a durable aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into angular fragments. The "hard" attribute indicates a high level of compressive strength and resistance to wear, making this material especially suitable for demanding construction environments.
The 3/8" size offers a balance between compaction and drainage, making it ideal for use as a base layer beneath pavers, in concrete mixes, or as a top dressing for driveways and walkways. Its small, angular particles interlock well, providing stability while still allowing for adequate water runoff. Common applications include residential patios, pathways, and commercial landscaping projects. The main advantage of this size and hardness is its longevity and resistance to shifting under load, though it may be less suitable for areas requiring a softer or more decorative finish.
