#8 Crushed Stone in Arkansas

On an Arkansas project where gumbo clay holds rainwater or hillside ground sheds it quickly, #8 Crushed Stone can take on the small-stone role in a drain detail, paver base, joint fill, or concrete mix. Its crushed pieces contain minimal fine material, so they do not pack together like soil. That distinction helps when moisture needs a route away from a finished surface.

Before using #8 Crushed Stone under pavers, prepare the supporting base for the ground conditions at the site. Delta work may call for the geotextile noted for soft clay conditions, while Ozark and Ouachita projects can meet shallow soil over rock. Keep the stone assigned to its paver or drainage function instead of treating it as the full support section for a farm road or building pad.

Permeable Paver Bedding & Joints

Use as bedding material and joint fill for permeable paver projects.

Drainage Layers

Its clean, open size helps water travel through French drains and drain beds.

Concrete Aggregate

It works as the finer coarse portion of a concrete mix.

Pipe Bedding

Install it beneath and alongside pipe for stable support and drainage.

Water Flow

The open, clean gradation permits quick drainage.

Permeable Pavers

Used in permeable interlocking paver systems.

Even Sizing

Evenly sized pieces provide reliable behavior in concrete and drainage applications.

Multiple Uses

Use one material for drainage, pipe bedding, and concrete.
