#8 Stone Limestone in a #8 to 3/8" Size Range

#8 stone limestone in a #8 to 3/8" size range is a crushed aggregate produced from high-quality limestone rock. The material is carefully screened to ensure uniform particle sizes between #8 sieve and 3/8 inch, resulting in small, angular stones that are both durable and versatile.

The #8 to 3/8" size offers excellent compaction while still allowing for effective drainage, making it ideal for a variety of applications. This limestone aggregate is commonly used for driveways, walkways, and as a base material for pavers and patios. Its angular shape helps lock the stones together, providing stability and reducing movement under load. Additionally, limestone's natural composition makes it less dusty and more environmentally friendly compared to some other aggregates. While it compacts well, its small size means it is not suitable for heavy structural fill but excels in decorative and functional surface layers.
