#8 Stone for Asphalt Applications - #8 to 3/8" Size Range

#8 stone in a #8 to 3/8" size range is a crushed aggregate specifically selected for use in asphalt mixes. Produced by crushing and screening natural rock, this material features angular particles that interlock well, providing stability and strength to finished surfaces. The #8 to 3/8" sizing ensures a consistent, small aggregate that blends smoothly into asphalt, enhancing compaction and surface uniformity.

This aggregate is ideal for both residential and commercial asphalt paving projects, including driveways, parking lots, and roadways. Its fine, uniform size allows for a dense, smooth finish, reducing voids and improving the longevity of the pavement. The angular shape also promotes excellent load-bearing capacity and skid resistance. While its small size makes it less suitable for drainage or base layers, #8 stone is a top choice for surface courses where a refined, durable finish is essential.
