#8 Stone (3/8″ Minus, Crushed)

#8 Crushed Stone - 3/8” Minus

#8 crushed stone in a 3/8" minus size range is a versatile aggregate produced by mechanically crushing larger stones into smaller, angular fragments. The "minus" designation means the material includes both 3/8" stones and finer particles, resulting in a well-graded mix that compacts efficiently.




This specific size and crushed attribute make #8 stone ideal for applications requiring stability and good drainage. The angular edges interlock to create a firm base, while the fines fill gaps for added compaction. Common uses include walkways, driveways, underlayment for pavers, and as a bedding layer for patios. In commercial settings, it's often used for pipe bedding, backfill, and as a component in concrete mixes. The main advantage of this material is its excellent compaction and load-bearing properties, though the presence of fines means it may not drain as quickly as larger, clean stone.
