#78 Stone, Washed, #8 to 1/2" Size Range

#78 stone in a washed, #8 to 1/2" size range is a clean, crushed aggregate known for its uniformity and versatility. Produced by mechanically crushing larger stones and then washing them to remove dust and fines, this material offers a consistent, attractive appearance and improved performance in various applications.

The #8 to 1/2" size range provides excellent drainage while remaining compact enough for stable surfaces, making it ideal for use in driveways, walkways, patios, and as a base for pavers. The washed attribute ensures minimal dust and debris, reducing mess and improving safety for both residential and commercial projects. Its clean finish also makes it suitable for decorative landscaping. While its small size and washed nature mean it compacts less than finer materials, it excels in drainage and is easy to spread, making it a popular choice for both DIYers and contractors.
