Crushed Stone

We deliver every grade

12 Stone

#12 stone is crushed rock screened to a small chip size, roughly 1/8 inch to 3/8 inch. The pieces are angular, with the fine dust screened out. It's what a crusher throws off after the coarse stone has been pulled — clean chips too big to call dust and too small to call regular gravel.

The 12 is a size number from state DOT specs, most often Indiana's INDOT and Pennsylvania's PennDOT. It tells you the sieve range and says nothing about the rock itself. Limestone, dolomite, and granite all get crushed to this size. Contractors buy it mostly to feed asphalt plants and to top-dress driveways where a small, tight chip is wanted.

How to choose within 12 stone

Compaction over drainage

Angular pieces lock together. Pick a smaller size when you need the surface to stay put under a driveway or path.

Drainage over compaction

The larger the piece, the more room for water to move through. #1 or #57 for a French drain; #8 or smaller reads as loose gravel.

Washed vs. unwashed

Washed has the dust rinsed out, so it drains faster and won't track into the house. Unwashed compacts harder — better under a paver base.
