#78 Stone (3/16″ To 1/2″)
Applications & Uses
#78 Stone in a 3/16" to 1/2" Size Range
#78 stone is a crushed aggregate typically produced from granite, limestone, or gravel. With a size range of 3/16" to 1/2", these small, angular stones are ideal for applications where a finer, more compactable material is needed. The consistent sizing ensures reliable coverage and stability, making it a popular choice for both residential and commercial projects.
The smaller size of #78 stone allows for excellent compaction, making it suitable for use as a top layer for driveways, walkways, and patios. It is also commonly used as a bedding material for pavers and as a base for concrete slabs. Its angular shape helps lock the stones together, providing a stable surface that resists shifting. While it offers good drainage, the finer particles can make it less ideal for heavy-duty drainage applications compared to larger aggregates. Overall, #78 stone is valued for its versatility, ease of installation, and ability to create smooth, stable surfaces.
