Gravel (3/8″ Minus, Grade 8)

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.
