Crushed Stone

We deliver every grade

13 Stone

#13 stone is a crushed rock product sold under a local or supplier-specific size number. It's not one of the numbered sizes in the ASTM D448 or AASHTO M43 specs most yards follow, so the actual sieve range shifts from quarry to quarry. If you're pricing a load, ask your yard what sizes the stone passes and holds on before you order.

The "13" isn't tied to a national standard. It's usually a house code a specific producer or region uses for a screen size they run often, and two yards can sell very different rock under the same name. Since size drives what a stone does well, the actual range on the ticket matters more than the number.

How to choose within 13 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.
