#9 Stone (#16 To #6)

#9 Stone in a #16 to #6 Size Range

#9 stone in a #16 to #6 size range is a finely crushed aggregate, typically produced from high-quality limestone or granite. The particles are small, generally passing through a 3/8" sieve and ranging from coarse sand to fine gravel in texture. This gradation provides a balance between compactability and drainage, making it a versatile material for various construction needs.




The fine size of #9 stone allows it to fill voids effectively, creating a stable base layer for pavers, patios, and walkways. It is also commonly used as a top dressing for driveways, bicycle paths, and as bedding material for underground pipes and utility lines. The smaller particle size ensures a smooth, even surface and reduces the risk of shifting or settling over time. While its fine texture offers excellent compaction and a clean finish, it may not be ideal for applications requiring rapid drainage or heavy load-bearing without additional support.
