#8 Stone (#8 To 3/8″, Washed)
Applications & Uses
#8 Washed Stone in a #8 to 3/8" Size Range
#8 washed stone in a #8 to 3/8" size range is a clean, crushed aggregate commonly produced from granite, limestone, or gravel. The "washed" attribute means the stone has been thoroughly cleaned to remove dust, clay, and other fine particles, resulting in a cleaner, more consistent product.
The #8 to 3/8" size range offers excellent drainage properties while remaining small enough for precise applications. This makes it ideal for use in permeable paver systems, drainage beds, and as a bedding layer for pipes or utility lines. In residential projects, it's often used for walkways, patios, and decorative landscaping, while in commercial settings, it's valued for backfilling, concrete mixes, and erosion control.
The washed finish reduces dust and debris, making it easier to handle and less likely to compact, which is beneficial for drainage but means it's not suitable for load-bearing surfaces that require compaction. Overall, #8 washed stone is a versatile, clean aggregate choice for projects where drainage and cleanliness are priorities.
