#89 Stone, Modified, 3/8" Minus

#89 stone in a modified, 3/8" minus size range is a versatile crushed aggregate commonly used in construction and landscaping. This material consists of small, angular stone particles, with the largest pieces measuring up to 3/8 inch and a blend of finer particles down to dust. The "modified" attribute indicates that the mix includes both stone and fines, which enhances compaction and stability.

The 3/8" minus size allows for excellent packing and a smooth, stable surface, making it ideal for applications where a firm base is required. Typical uses include pathways, driveways, underlayment for pavers, and as a base for patios or concrete slabs. The presence of fines helps lock the aggregate together, reducing voids and improving load-bearing capacity, though it may reduce drainage compared to clean stone. This makes #89 modified stone a practical choice for both residential and commercial projects where compaction and stability are priorities.
