#5 Stone (1/2″ To 1″, Granite)
Applications & Uses
#5 Granite Stone (1/2" to 1")
#5 stone in a 1/2" to 1" size range is a versatile construction aggregate made from durable granite. Produced by crushing and screening granite rock, this material offers excellent strength and longevity, making it ideal for demanding applications.
The 1/2" to 1" size range provides a balance between compaction and drainage. These mid-sized stones are large enough to allow water to flow through, reducing the risk of pooling, yet small enough to create a stable base when compacted. The granite attribute ensures resistance to weathering and wear, making it suitable for high-traffic areas.
Common uses include base layers for driveways, walkways, and patios, as well as drainage solutions around foundations and in French drains. The angular shape of crushed granite locks together well, providing stability but making it less suitable for decorative or barefoot areas. Overall, #5 granite stone is valued for its durability, drainage properties, and reliable performance in both residential and commercial projects.
