Grade 8 Gravel in a 3/8” Minus Size Range
Grade 8 gravel in a 3/8" minus size range is a compactable aggregate blend consisting of crushed stone and stone dust. The "minus" designation means the material includes particles up to 3/8" in size, along with finer particles that fill gaps and create a dense, stable base when compacted. This blend is typically produced by mechanically crushing larger stones and screening them to achieve the desired gradation.
The 3/8" minus size is ideal for applications where a firm, level surface is required, such as under pavers, patios, walkways, and driveways. Its excellent compaction properties make it a popular choice for sub-base layers in both residential and commercial projects. The fine particles help lock the material in place, reducing shifting and settling over time. However, because of its high fines content, Grade 8 gravel is less suitable for drainage applications compared to more open-graded aggregates. Overall, it offers a stable, cost-effective solution for creating long-lasting, load-bearing surfaces.Applications & Uses
