Crushed Stone
We deliver every grade68 Stone
#68 stone is crushed rock screened from about 3/4 inch down to roughly the size of a coarse sand grain. The pieces are angular, so they lock together under weight instead of rolling around. Because smaller bits are mixed in with the larger ones, it packs tight and holds a firm shape once compacted.
The 68 is a screen size from the ASTM D448 spec. It tells you how big the pieces are and says nothing about the rock, so you'll see #68 sold as limestone, granite, or trap rock depending on what your local quarry pulls. It shows up most often in asphalt mixes and ready-mix concrete, and some crews use it as a base under pipe. Price runs close to other 3/4-inch crushed stones since it's the same rock, just cut to a different screen.

What people use it for
How to choose within 68 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.
