#9 limestone is a fine crushed stone often referred to as rice gravel, typically sized between 1/8 inch and 3/16 inch. Its small, uniform particles spread easily and compact tightly, creating a smooth, firm surface suited for asphalt mixes, concrete production, and light-duty surfacing. This material is commonly used for driveway topping, walkway construction, and finishing layers on roads or parking areas where a clean appearance and comfortable surface are important. Its finer texture provides durability without the rough feel of larger aggregate.
Common applications for #9 limestone
- Concrete and asphalt blending aggregate
- Surface finishing over compacted base
- Decorative hardscape accents
- Leveling layer for small residential projects
