Crushed Stone (3/4″ Minus, Limestone, Grade 8)
Product Specifications
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone - Limestone, Grade 8, 3/4" Minus
Crushed stone in a 3/4" minus size, made from high-quality limestone and graded as Grade 8, is a versatile construction aggregate. This material consists of angular limestone fragments mixed with fine particles, all passing through a 3/4" screen. The "minus" designation means the product contains both the specified maximum size and smaller particles, resulting in excellent compaction properties.
The combination of limestone and the 3/4" minus grading makes this aggregate ideal for creating stable, load-bearing surfaces. It is commonly used as a base material for driveways, patios, sidewalks, and under concrete slabs, as well as for road construction and parking lots. The fine particles fill voids between larger stones, allowing for superior compaction and a firm, stable base that resists shifting and settling. While its compactability is a major advantage, the presence of fines means it is less suitable for drainage applications compared to clean stone. Overall, Grade 8 limestone crushed stone is a reliable choice for foundational work in both residential and commercial projects.
