Washed Squeege Aggregate (#8 to #5 Size Range)

Washed Squeege in the #8 to #5 size range is a fine, clean aggregate produced by screening and washing natural stone or gravel. The washing process removes dust, clay, and other impurities, resulting in a cleaner material that is less likely to compact or retain moisture. The #8 to #5 size range means particles are small and uniform, typically between 1/16" and 1/4", making this aggregate ideal for applications requiring a smooth, stable surface.

This washed squeege is commonly used for bedding under pavers, as a base for playgrounds, in pipe bedding, and for decorative landscaping. Its fine, washed texture ensures excellent drainage and reduces the risk of dust, making it suitable for both residential and commercial projects. The small particle size allows for easy leveling and compaction, while the washed attribute minimizes mess and improves long-term performance. However, because it is less compactable than coarser aggregates, it may not be ideal for load-bearing applications.
