#78 Stone in a #8 to 1/2” Size Range
#78 stone in a #8 to 1/2" size range is a crushed aggregate commonly produced from granite, limestone, or trap rock. The material consists of small, angular stones that pass through a #8 sieve and measure up to 1/2 inch in diameter. This specific size offers a balance between compactability and drainage, making it versatile for a variety of construction and landscaping applications.
The relatively small, uniform size of #78 stone allows for excellent compaction while still providing good drainage. This makes it ideal for use as a top layer for driveways, walkways, and patios, as well as for bedding under pavers or as a base for concrete slabs. In commercial settings, it is often used for pipe bedding, backfill, and as a component in asphalt mixes. The angular shape helps the stones lock together, reducing movement and providing a stable surface, though it may be less comfortable for bare feet compared to rounded aggregates. Overall, #78 stone in this size range is valued for its versatility, stability, and ease of installation.Applications & Uses
