9 Stone

#9 stone is crushed rock screened to a 3/8 inch top size, with pieces running down to about the size of a grain of rice. It's small and angular, so it packs tight and fills gaps that bigger stone leaves behind. Most of what you get falls between a 3/8 inch screen and a No. 8 sieve, with a bit of dust below that.

The 9 is a screen size from the ASTM D448 spec. It tells you how small the pieces are and says nothing about the type of rock, so #9 shows up in limestone, granite, or river gravel depending on what your local quarry runs. Some yards also sell an INDOT #9 that's finer still, roughly No. 4 down to No. 16. Price usually sits a little above larger sizes like #57 because the tighter screening takes more work at the plant.

How to choose within 9 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.
