#78 Stone (#8 To 1/2″, Limestone)
Applications & Uses
#78 Stone - Limestone, #8 to 1/2" Size Range
#78 stone in a #8 to 1/2" size range is a crushed limestone aggregate known for its uniform, small particle size and angular shape. Produced by mechanically crushing larger limestone rocks, this material offers excellent compaction and stability while maintaining good drainage properties.
The #8 to 1/2" size range makes #78 limestone ideal for applications where a balance between compaction and drainage is needed. Its smaller, angular particles interlock well, making it a popular choice for driveways, walkways, and as a base layer under pavers or concrete slabs. In commercial settings, it's often used for road base, parking lots, and pipe bedding. The limestone composition provides durability and a natural appearance, while the size ensures easy handling and a smooth, finished surface. One consideration is that, while it compacts well, it may not be as decorative as larger or more colorful aggregates.
