#8 Stone (3/8″ Minus, Washed)

#8 Washed Stone - 3/8” Minus

#8 washed stone in a 3/8” minus size range is a clean, crushed aggregate commonly used in both residential and commercial construction. Produced by crushing and screening natural stone, then thoroughly washing it, this material is free from dust, clay, and debris, ensuring a cleaner and more consistent product.

The 3/8” minus sizing means that the majority of particles are 3/8 inch or smaller, allowing for excellent compaction while still providing good drainage. The washed attribute reduces the risk of dust and fines, making it ideal for applications where cleanliness and appearance matter, such as exposed aggregate concrete, pathways, and landscaping beds. It is also frequently used as a bedding material for pavers, pipe installations, and as a top dressing for driveways.

Pros of #8 washed stone include reduced dust, improved drainage, and a neat, finished look. However, its smaller size means it may not be suitable for heavy load-bearing applications or areas requiring significant structural support. Overall, this aggregate is a versatile choice for projects needing a clean, compactable, and visually appealing material.
