#8 Stone - Round, Washed, #8 to 3/8" Size Range

#8 stone in a round, washed form and a #8 to 3/8" size range is a versatile aggregate prized for its smooth texture and clean appearance. Produced by screening and washing natural river or crushed stone, this material is free from dust and debris, making it ideal for projects where cleanliness and drainage are priorities.

The round shape of #8 stone reduces compaction, allowing water to flow freely through the aggregate-an essential feature for drainage systems, French drains, and septic installations. Its washed attribute ensures minimal dust, making it suitable for playgrounds, landscaping beds, and decorative pathways where a clean, finished look is desired. While its lack of angular edges means it doesn't lock together as firmly as crushed stone (making it less ideal for load-bearing surfaces), its excellent drainage and smooth finish make it a top choice for both residential and commercial landscaping, pipe bedding, and erosion control.
