Crushed Stone
We deliver every grade8 Stone
#8 stone is crushed rock screened between about 3/8 inch and 1/8 inch, with the fines washed out. The pieces are small and angular, roughly the size of a pencil eraser. Because the sizes stay in a narrow band, water runs right through it and it stays loose instead of packing down hard.
The 8 is a screen size from the ASTM D448 spec. It tells you how big the pieces are and says nothing about what kind of rock they came from. You'll see #8 sold as granite, limestone, or trap rock depending on what's quarried nearby. Because it's washed and screened tight, it usually costs a little more per ton than a mixed base rock like #57.

What people use it for
How to choose within 8 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.
