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

#9 stone in a #16 to #9 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 retained on a #16 sieve, resulting in a granular material with excellent compaction properties.

This specific size range makes #9 stone ideal for applications where a smooth, stable surface is required. It is commonly used as a top layer for driveways, walkways, and patios, as well as a bedding material for pavers and flagstone. Its fine texture allows for easy leveling and filling of small gaps, while still providing adequate drainage. The small particle size also makes it suitable for use in concrete mixes and as a base for permeable paving systems. While #9 stone compacts well and creates a solid surface, it may not be suitable for areas requiring significant drainage or where larger aggregate is needed for structural support.
