Crushed Stone (Grade 8, Limestone, Black)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone - Grade 8 Limestone, Black
Grade 8 black limestone crushed stone is a high-quality construction aggregate produced by mechanically crushing and screening limestone rock. The Grade 8 designation refers to a well-graded mix of angular stone and fines, typically resulting in a compactable material with excellent load-bearing properties. The black color offers a distinctive, modern appearance that can enhance the aesthetics of both residential and commercial projects.
This material's blend of stone sizes and limestone fines makes it ideal for creating a stable, dense base layer. It is commonly used for driveways, parking lots, walkways, and as a sub-base for patios and pavers. The angular shape of the crushed stone ensures good interlock and compaction, while the limestone composition provides durability and resistance to weathering. The black hue can help reduce glare and create a striking contrast in landscaping applications. While Grade 8 limestone compacts well and offers excellent drainage, it may generate some dust during installation due to the fines content.
