#8 Stone Limestone in a #8 to 3/8" Size Range

#8 stone limestone in a #8 to 3/8" size range is a crushed, angular aggregate produced from high-quality limestone. This material is carefully screened to ensure consistent sizing, making it ideal for projects that require both stability and a clean, finished appearance. The limestone composition provides excellent durability and natural resistance to weathering.

The #8 to 3/8" size range offers a balance between compaction and drainage. Its small, uniform pieces are easy to spread and compact, making it a popular choice for pathways, driveways, and as a base layer under pavers or concrete. In commercial settings, it is often used for drainage systems, backfill, and as a bedding material for pipes. The angular shape of the crushed limestone locks together well, reducing movement and providing a stable surface, while also allowing water to pass through efficiently. This makes it less prone to shifting and ideal for areas where both support and drainage are important.
