“Used three tons of number eight stone to bed a drainage pipe run behind the house near Opelousas. Small and consistent size, packed nice around the pipe, and the ditch hasn't held standing water since we finished it in June.”

- Crushed stone
On wet ground, the common mistake is expecting stone alone to correct a drainage layout. #8 Crushed Stone should be part of a detail that gives runoff a route away from the work, not a substitute for that route. Its crushed particles contain few fines, fitting drain areas that need to remain free draining. The clean grading avoids bringing much fine material into the stone section. It also serves in concrete mixes when called for.
For pavers, keep #8 Crushed Stone in the designated support course below pavers or in their joint spaces, rather than spreading it through gumbo clay. Where the water table is high or ground settles, the overall layout should shed water and keep each layer in its proper role. This distinction matters on built-up pads that sit wet.

Customer Reviews
Good chip seal stone, dusty unload
Bought two tons of number eight to chip seal a short stretch of our gravel lane out past Bastrop before winter. Stone size was exactly what the contractor wanted and it locked into the tar coat fine. The unload kicked up more dust than I expected, coated the porch furniture, so I'd ask them to spray it down first if you're doing this again near the house.

Walkway topper looks sharp
Redid the front walkway at our rental near Alexandria with a thin top layer of number eight stone over the paver base. Louisiana Rock Supply got two tons out to us the same week we called, which kept the tenants from tracking mud through the front door. Six months later it still looks tidy, hasn't shifted, and tenants have actually started raking it back into place instead of complaining about it.

Perfect for the pipe bedding
Used three tons of number eight stone to bed a drainage pipe run behind the house near Opelousas. Small and consistent size, packed nice around the pipe, and the ditch hasn't held standing water since we finished it in June.

Mixed clean, poured clean
Ordered five tons of number eight for a batch of concrete work around a barn near Monroe. Mixed clean with almost no fines clogging up the mixer, and the finished slab cured without the pitting we got last time using pit run gravel from the local yard. Delivery showed up right at the start of the window, driver backed the tandem in without tearing up the yard at all.
