#8 Stone (#8 To 3/8″)
Applications & Uses
#8 Stone in a #8 to 3/8" Size Range
#8 stone in a #8 to 3/8" size range is a small, crushed aggregate commonly produced from granite, limestone, or gravel. The material consists of angular particles that are screened to ensure consistent sizing, making it ideal for projects requiring precise gradation and reliable performance.
The #8 to 3/8" size offers excellent drainage properties while providing a stable base, making it a popular choice for permeable paver installations, drainage systems, and as a bedding layer for patios and walkways. Its small, angular shape helps lock pieces together, reducing movement and improving load distribution. While it compacts less than finer materials, this characteristic enhances water flow, making it less suitable for applications needing a tightly compacted surface but ideal for drainage and filtration. #8 stone is also used in concrete mixes and as a decorative ground cover in landscaping.
