About 3/8" Crushed Stone

3/8 inch crushed stone is angular gray stone screened down to a consistent three eighths inch size, small enough to compact tight but coarse enough to drain well. It weighs about 2,650 pounds per cubic yard, which is why it ships and prices by the ton rather than by volume. In Springfield, Pennsylvania, part of the greater Philadelphia area, this size is a common choice under pavers, along walkways, and as a top dressing over a compacted base because the small stone locks together once it is spread and tamped down.

Homeowners and contractors across this part of Pennsylvania, including nearby communities such as Philadelphia and Wilmington, use the same 3/8 inch grade for French drains and around drainage pipe, since the tight gradation keeps fine particles from washing into the pipe while still letting water pass freely. The gray color reads clean and neutral against brick and concrete, common finishes in this region, and it holds up better over time than mulch since it does not fade, rot, or need replacing. Once compacted, expect a firm, low dust surface with enough angularity to resist shifting under foot traffic or light vehicle weight.
