Crushed Stone

We deliver every grade

410 Stone

#410 stone is a dense-graded limestone base. It mixes crushed pieces up to about 1 inch with every smaller size right down to the dust. When you roll it out and compact it, the fines pack in between the bigger pieces and lock the whole layer tight. That's what makes it hold up under a driveway, a shed pad, or a paver patio.

The 410 name comes from Ohio DOT specs, where it points to a compacted surface course. It tells you the size mix, not the kind of rock, though most yards sell it as limestone because limestone crushes into the sharp, blocky pieces that pack the best. You'll sometimes hear it called dense-graded base or compactable limestone. Price usually runs a little above plain crusher run since the gradation is screened tighter.

How to choose within 410 stone

Compaction over drainage

Angular pieces lock together. Pick a smaller size when you need the surface to stay put under a driveway or path.

Drainage over compaction

The larger the piece, the more room for water to move through. #1 or #57 for a French drain; #8 or smaller reads as loose gravel.

Washed vs. unwashed

Washed has the dust rinsed out, so it drains faster and won't track into the house. Unwashed compacts harder — better under a paver base.
