ReAgg Crushed Stone Grades in Baltimore Aggregates

Crushed stone is a versatile product that has many uses. It can be a base material for pavers as well as used for decorating landscapes. Crushed stone comes in a variety of different grades. These grades are determined based on the size of the stone after crushing. Each grade has a unique application.

When you need crushed stone, it’s handy to know what the different grades mean. The information below provides a general overview to help you choose the right material for your project.

Crushed Stone Grade 1-10

Generally, as the grade number goes up, the size of the stone goes down.

  • #1 – The # 1 crushed stone grade is the largest of the crushed stone grades and includes stone between 2-4 inches long. This material is great for larger jobs or for filling in larger holes.
  • #3 – This size of the stone ranges from 1/2 to 2 inches long. This material is a great choice for railroad projects and those that require drainage.
  • #5 – Crushed stone #5 is 1 inch or smaller in size. This material is perfect for road and paver base.
  • #8 – These stones are between 3/8 and 1/2 inch long. It is the most common stone used for concrete mixes.
  • #10 – Crushed stone #10 is known as screenings or dust. Most use this material to create pavers and concrete blocks.

  • #57 – This category refers to a stone that is about 3/4 inch long. Most typically use it for concrete mix, landscaping, and drainage.
  • #67 – Crushed stone #67 includes stone that is 3/4 inch or smaller in size. #67 is a great material for road and slab base as well as fill.
