“We run cattle outside Houlton and have fought a washout at the culvert crossing near the north pasture for three years. This spring we switched to #8 for the bedding, after the pit run we bought from a quarry toward Presque Isle kept shifting and exposing the pipe every rain. Ordered seven tons from Maine Rock Supply, delivered by a tandem that eased down the section road without tearing up the ditch bank the way the old hauler did. Packed it in tight around the culvert with a hand tamper, and we have had two heavy rains since with no washout and no exposed pipe, the first time it's held.”

Everything You Need to Know About #8 Crushed Stone
Size and Grading
- Size
- About 3/8 inch to 1/2 inch
- Grading
- #8, clean with little to no fines
- Type
- Crushed stone
Glacial till over ledge can leave moisture with limited downward escape, and deep frost acts on water that remains near a hardscape. #8 Crushed Stone brings crushed particles and few fines to drainage details, paver construction, and concrete mixes. This character keeps the stone section from taking on the soil-like quality of nearby till. Where ledge is close to grade, the drainage route may need to work across the site.
For pavers, place #8 Crushed Stone in the specified support course or joint spaces, not in place of the broader subbase used for a drive or camp road. Keeping materials in assigned layers helps planning for mud season and repeated freeze-thaw conditions. A defined outlet remains important when ledge prevents water from draining downward. The stone's role is local to the detail, while the full build handles frost separately.

Customer Reviews
Good stone, driver ran late
Ordered #8 for a drainage strip along the side of a triple decker I own in Biddeford, about four tons total. The material is clean and consistent, exactly what the tenant's plumber wanted around the new sump discharge line. Only ding is the delivery window was supposed to be morning and the truck didn't show until almost four in the afternoon, which meant I burned half a day waiting around for nothing.

Nice topcoat, needed more than we thought
Our little congregation in Waterville needed a walkway from the parking area to the side entrance for folks who use walkers and canes. We ordered three tons of #8 thinking that would cover it, but ended up calling back for one more ton once we saw how thin it spread over that distance. The stone itself is exactly the tan color and fine texture we wanted, easy on unsteady feet.

Flagstone Joints Hold Through Frost Heave
A ton and a half of #8 crushed stone went between the flagstone joints on our patio out here in Yarmouth, filling the gaps without swallowing the stone dust that regular sand tends to track everywhere. Maine Rock Supply loaded me right at the scale, twenty minutes start to finish while I waited in the truck. It swept in easy with a push broom and settled tight after a light watering. The joints came through this spring's frost heave without a single gap opening back up, and a month of regular foot traffic hasn't loosened a thing.

Better bedding stone than the old quarry
We run cattle outside Houlton and have fought a washout at the culvert crossing near the north pasture for three years. This spring we switched to #8 for the bedding, after the pit run we bought from a quarry toward Presque Isle kept shifting and exposing the pipe every rain. Ordered seven tons from Maine Rock Supply, delivered by a tandem that eased down the section road without tearing up the ditch bank the way the old hauler did. Packed it in tight around the culvert with a hand tamper, and we have had two heavy rains since with no washout and no exposed pipe, the first time it's held.

Culvert bedding held through spring runoff
Used two tons of #8 to bed a culvert pipe on our camp road in Damariscotta. It packed in evenly around the pipe with no gaps, and shrugged off the spring runoff that used to wash the old crossing out.
