#8 Crushed Stone in North Dakota

In a build sequence, #8 Crushed Stone belongs in the part of the work assigned to free drainage, paver construction, or concrete. The crushed material carries few fines, leaving it unsuitable for jobs that need a soil-like surface to bind together. Its small stone texture works best when the project has a defined purpose for it.

Wet spring conditions in the Red River Valley and gumbo ground west of the Missouri River make water management important before surface work begins. Deep frost adds to that concern when moisture remains near a hardscape. Use this stone in a designed paver course or drain detail, and keep the surrounding grades working toward the drainage plan rather than relying on loose stone to solve standing water.
