#89 Stone Limestone, #16 to 3/8" Size Range

#89 stone in a #16 to 3/8" size range is a finely crushed limestone aggregate, produced by mechanically breaking down larger limestone rocks and screening them to achieve a consistent, small particle size. This material is known for its angular shape and clean, uniform sizing, which enhances compaction and stability.

The #16 to 3/8" size range makes this limestone ideal for applications requiring a smooth, compactable base with excellent drainage properties. It is commonly used for pathways, driveways, paver bases, and as a bedding material for pipes and underground utilities. The small, angular particles lock together well, reducing movement and providing a stable surface, while the limestone composition offers natural durability and resistance to weathering. One advantage of this size and material is its ease of compaction, making it suitable for both residential and commercial projects. However, its fine size may not be ideal for areas needing maximum drainage or where larger decorative stone is preferred.
