89 Stone

#89 stone is crushed rock screened between about 3/8 inch and the size of a coarse sand grain. The pieces are small and angular, so they pack down tight and drain water fast. It's one of the finer crushed sizes you can buy before you get into stone dust.

The 89 is a screen size from the ASTM D448 spec. It's a blend of the #8 and #9 gradations, which is where the name comes from. It says nothing about what kind of rock you're getting, so you'll see #89 in granite, limestone, or whatever the local quarry runs. Price usually runs a bit higher per ton than the coarser #57 because it takes an extra screening pass.

How to choose within 89 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.
