Gravel 6 Stone

#6 stone is crushed rock screened between about 1 inch and 3/8 inch, with the fines washed or screened out. The pieces are angular, so they bite into each other under weight instead of rolling around. That puts it right between #57 and #8 in size, which is the sweet spot for a driveway top or a solid base layer.

The 6 is a size number from the ASTM D448 and AASHTO M43 gradation charts. It tells you how big the pieces are and says nothing about what kind of rock they came from, so you'll see #6 in limestone, granite, or river gravel depending on what's quarried near you. Price tracks other mid-size crushed stones in your city, since it takes the same crushing and screening work to make.

How to choose within gravel 6 stone

Foot traffic

Pea gravel and river rock feel good barefoot but shift underfoot; use a border so they stay where you put them.

Vehicle traffic

Round gravel rolls under tires. Pick angular crushed stone for a driveway; save rounded gravel for garden paths and beds.

Drainage

All of these drain well. Bigger pieces drain faster; smaller pieces pack tighter.
