#9 Stone (#16 To #4, Limestone)
Applications & Uses
#9 Stone Limestone in #16 to #4 Size Range
#9 stone limestone in a #16 to #4 size range is a finely crushed aggregate produced from high-quality limestone. This material consists of small, angular particles that typically range from coarse sand-sized (#16 sieve) up to about 1/4 inch (#4 sieve). The limestone is quarried, crushed, and screened to achieve this precise gradation, resulting in a clean, consistent product.
The fine, angular nature of #9 stone limestone makes it ideal for applications requiring excellent compaction and stability. It is commonly used as a base layer for pavers, patios, and walkways, as well as for pipe bedding and underlayment in concrete projects. Its size allows for tight packing, reducing voids and providing a stable foundation, while the limestone composition offers durability and natural resistance to weathering. This material is easy to work with, but its small size means it may not be suitable for drainage applications where larger aggregates are preferred.
