#9 Stone (#16 To #5)
Applications & Uses
#9 Stone in a #16 to #5 Size Range
#9 stone in a #16 to #5 size range is a finely crushed aggregate, typically produced from high-quality limestone or granite. The particles fall between sieve sizes #16 (about 1.18 mm) and #5 (about 4 mm), resulting in a material that is finer than standard gravel but coarser than sand.
This specific size range offers excellent compaction and stability, making it ideal for use as a leveling base beneath pavers, patios, and walkways. Its fine texture allows for smooth finishes and tight joints, while still providing adequate drainage. #9 stone is also commonly used for bicycle paths, as a top dressing for driveways, and in concrete mixes where a finer aggregate is required. The smaller particle size can make it less suitable for heavy load-bearing applications, but it excels in projects where a stable, smooth surface is desired.
