Crushed Stone (#8 To 3/8″)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone in #8 to 3/8" Size Range
Crushed stone in the #8 to 3/8" size range is a versatile aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into angular fragments. This specific size is small enough to provide a stable surface yet large enough to allow for effective drainage, making it a popular choice for a variety of construction and landscaping projects.
The #8 to 3/8" size is ideal for use as a top layer for driveways, walkways, and patios, where a firm, compacted surface is desired without sacrificing drainage. Its angular shape helps the stones lock together, reducing movement and providing excellent load-bearing capacity. This size is also commonly used as a base material for pavers, in concrete mixes, and for backfilling around pipes or retaining walls. While it compacts well, its small size can make it less suitable for areas requiring significant structural support compared to larger aggregates. Overall, this crushed stone offers a balance of stability, drainage, and ease of installation for both residential and commercial applications.
