#78 Stone (1/2″ To 3/4″, Granite)
Applications & Uses
#78 Granite Stone (1/2" to 3/4")
#78 stone in a 1/2" to 3/4" size range is a crushed granite aggregate known for its durability and angular shape. Produced by mechanically crushing granite rock, this material offers excellent strength and resistance to weathering, making it a reliable choice for a variety of construction needs.
The 1/2" to 3/4" size provides a balance between compaction and drainage. Its angular edges help lock the stones together, reducing movement under load, while the granite composition ensures long-lasting performance. This makes #78 granite stone ideal for use in driveways, walkways, and as a base layer for patios or pavers. It is also commonly used in drainage applications, such as French drains and around pipe bedding, due to its ability to allow water to flow freely while preventing soil migration.
Pros of this material include its excellent load-bearing capacity, resistance to erosion, and low maintenance requirements. However, its angular texture can make it less comfortable for barefoot traffic compared to rounded aggregates. Overall, #78 granite stone is a versatile and dependable choice for both residential and commercial projects.
