Crushed Stone (5/8″)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone in a 5/8" Size Range
Crushed stone in a 5/8" size range is a versatile aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into angular fragments. This mid-sized material offers a balance between compaction and drainage, making it suitable for a wide variety of construction and landscaping projects.
The 5/8" size is ideal for applications where stability and support are important, but where finer materials might compact too tightly or impede water flow. Common uses include base layers for driveways, walkways, and patios, as well as backfill for retaining walls and drainage solutions. Its angular shape helps the stones lock together, providing a stable surface that resists shifting, while still allowing for adequate drainage. This makes it a popular choice for both residential and commercial projects. One consideration is that, compared to smaller aggregates, 5/8" crushed stone may be less suitable for finishing surfaces where a smoother texture is desired.
