#8 Limestone Washed Stone (3/8" Size Range)

#8 stone in a 3/8" size range is a small, angular aggregate produced from high-quality limestone and thoroughly washed to remove dust and fines. The washing process ensures a clean, consistent product that minimizes airborne particles and improves overall appearance and performance.

The 3/8" size makes this material ideal for applications requiring excellent drainage and stability, such as bedding for pavers, pipe backfill, and permeable pavement systems. Its angular shape helps lock pieces together, providing a stable base, while the washed attribute reduces compaction issues and prevents clogging in drainage systems. Commonly used in both residential and commercial projects, #8 washed limestone is also suitable for decorative landscaping, walkways, and as a top layer for driveways. The main advantage of this material is its clean, dust-free nature and reliable drainage, though it may not compact as tightly as finer aggregates.
