#789 Stone in a 3/8" to 1/2" Size Range

#789 stone in a 3/8" to 1/2" size range is a crushed aggregate commonly produced from granite, limestone, or trap rock. This material features small, angular particles that provide excellent interlocking properties, making it stable and easy to work with for a variety of construction and landscaping projects.

The 3/8" to 1/2" size range offers a balance between compaction and drainage. Its relatively small size allows for a smooth, even surface, while the angular shape ensures good load-bearing capacity and resistance to shifting. #789 stone is frequently used for pathways, driveways, and as a base layer for pavers or concrete slabs. It is also popular for drainage applications, such as French drains and pipe bedding, due to its ability to allow water to flow through while minimizing soil migration. This size is easy to spread and less likely to track or shift underfoot, making it suitable for both residential and commercial use.

Pros include excellent drainage, stability, and versatility. However, its smaller size means it may not be ideal for heavy-duty load-bearing surfaces without proper compaction or support. Overall, #789 stone in this size range is a reliable choice for projects requiring a stable, well-draining aggregate.
