#7 Stone (#4 To 1/2″)
Applications & Uses
#7 Stone in a #4 to 1/2" Size Range
#7 stone in a #4 to 1/2" size range is a versatile crushed aggregate commonly produced from granite, limestone, or trap rock. The material consists of small, angular pieces that pass through a #4 sieve but are retained on a 1/2" screen, resulting in a uniform, medium-sized gravel.
This specific size range offers excellent drainage properties while still providing enough compaction for stability, making it ideal for a variety of construction and landscaping projects. #7 stone is frequently used for bedding under concrete slabs, pipe backfill, drainage systems, and as a base layer for pavers or walkways. Its angular shape helps lock the stones together, reducing movement and improving load-bearing capacity. While it compacts less than finer aggregates, its superior drainage makes it a preferred choice for areas where water runoff is a concern. Both DIYers and contractors appreciate #7 stone for its balance of stability and permeability.
