#89 Stone (3/8″ Minus, Adot, Modified)

#89 Stone, Adot Modified, 3/8” Minus

#89 stone in a 3/8” minus size range, Adot modified, is a finely graded crushed aggregate commonly used in construction and landscaping. Produced by crushing and screening natural stone, this material features particles that range from 3/8 inch down to fines, ensuring excellent compaction and stability. The “Adot modified” attribute indicates it meets specific standards for gradation and quality, making it suitable for demanding applications.

The small, consistent particle size allows for tight packing, which reduces voids and creates a stable base. This makes #89 stone ideal for use in pathways, driveways, and as a bedding layer for pavers or concrete slabs. It is also frequently used in drainage systems, as the fines help prevent water from washing away the base material. Pros include easy compaction, smooth finish, and reliable performance in both residential and commercial projects. However, the presence of fines means it may retain moisture and is less suitable for areas requiring rapid drainage.
