“We run a small dog boarding kennel outside Deer Lodge and needed something the dogs could run on all day without turning into a mud pit every time it rained. Twelve tons of three eighths went down over the whole yard, tamped and leveled with a rented plate compactor over two afternoons. Six months in through a wet fall and a snowy start to winter, the runs drain in minutes and the dogs track almost nothing back inside anymore. It's smaller and easier on paws than the sixty seven we first looked at, and Montana Rock Supply had it delivered within two days of the quote.”

Everything You Need to Know About 3/8" Crushed Stone
Size and Grading
- Size
- Approximately 3/8 inch
- Type
- Angular crushed stone
A finished surface gets judged by how it looks after traffic and weather have had time to work on it. 3/8" Crushed Stone packs into a dense, even cover because its angular pieces fit closely under compaction. It suits patios, walkways, and the exposed finish of a driveway where a smoother surface is wanted for walking or driving.
Montana's deep frost and repeated freeze-thaw make the support beneath any finished surface important. On ground that holds moisture east of the Continental Divide, shape and build the underlying driveway or patio structure before placing this stone. Use 3/8" Crushed Stone only after that support is firm, then compact it thoroughly so the visible surface stays orderly through regular use.

Common Uses
Paths and Patio Areas
For garden paths, patio spaces, and side-yard routes, 3/8-inch crushed stone provides a fine surface that feels easy to walk on. It compacts into an orderly layer with a consistent look.
Driveway Surface Course
For the top course of a driveway, place 3/8-inch crushed stone over larger base rock. The finer material settles into open spaces in the lower layer, leaving a smoother finished surface.
Bedding for Pipes and Utilities
Around pipe, conduit, and utility lines, 3/8-inch crushed stone offers small, consistent material for bedding. It settles around uneven forms and gives them steady, level support.
Ground Cover for Landscapes
Add 3/8-inch crushed stone to planting areas, tree rings, and property edges. The small, even pieces give these spaces a tidy finished appearance.
Why Choose 3/8" Crushed Stone
Fine Walking Surface
At 3/8-inch, the smaller particles make a gentler surface underfoot than larger aggregate. Use it on walkways, patios, and places where people walk barefoot.
Dense Compacted Layer
Compacting 3/8-inch crushed stone draws the small pieces together into a dense, stable layer. This helps reduce shifting from walking traffic and weather changes.
Intermediate Size
Sized at 3/8-inch, this material bridges fine screenings and regular crushed stone. It works for finish layers, utility bedding, and decorative spots that call for smaller aggregate.
Uniform Finished Look
Consistent sizing and angular pieces give 3/8-inch crushed stone a clean, orderly appearance for landscape and surface projects.

Customer Reviews
Garden path holds its color
Laid four tons along a garden path connecting the porch to the shed in Anaconda. Comfortable to walk on barefoot, packs down enough that it doesn't shift underfoot, and it's held its color through a full summer of sun without fading out.

Dog runs drain in minutes now
We run a small dog boarding kennel outside Deer Lodge and needed something the dogs could run on all day without turning into a mud pit every time it rained. Twelve tons of three eighths went down over the whole yard, tamped and leveled with a rented plate compactor over two afternoons.

Patio screeded out flat and even
Used seven tons of three eighths for paver bedding on a small patio job up near Philipsburg. Screeds out flat and even, and the finished patio hasn't settled unevenly after its first winter under a foot of snow. Montana Rock Supply's material is better graded than what we used to pull from the local pit.

Side yard finally stays dry
Put down three tons as a drainage strip along the side of the house in Manhattan where water always used to run toward the crawl space vents. Works exactly as hoped after two thunderstorms this summer. Only issue was a short delay getting a callback to confirm the delivery date.
