#89 limestone is a small, clean, angular crushed stone commonly used for surface finishing, drainage, concrete production, asphalt mixes, utility work, and decorative landscaping. It generally consists of finely graded limestone particles ranging from approximately 0.25 inches to 0.375 inches, although exact sizing may vary by quarry and regional specification.
The limestone is crushed and screened to create fractured particles with angular edges and a relatively consistent gradation. Most stone dust and fine material are removed during processing, leaving open spaces between the individual stones that allow water to move through the installed aggregate layer.
Because #89 limestone contains minimal fines, it does not compact into the dense, tightly bonded surface created by crusher run or dense-grade aggregate. Instead, the small particles settle together while maintaining permeability, creating a neat and relatively stable layer with dependable drainage.
Its finer particle size gives #89 limestone a smoother and more uniform finished appearance than larger clean stone. The material spreads easily, grades evenly, and can be placed accurately around pipes, utility lines, landscape edging, patios, walkways, and other confined installation areas.
Compared with #8 limestone, #89 limestone is generally the finer option and produces a more polished surface texture. #8 limestone is commonly selected when a slightly larger particle size and greater surface structure are preferred, while #89 stone works especially well for top dressing, detailed hardscape work, narrow drainage installations, and decorative projects that benefit from a finer finish.
#89 limestone is frequently installed as a clean finishing layer over a properly compacted aggregate base. The underlying crusher run or dense-grade stone provides the primary load-bearing support, while the #89 limestone creates a cleaner, more refined surface that continues to allow water movement.
Its light natural coloring complements concrete, pavers, retaining walls, landscape plants, and other hardscape materials. This makes it suitable for functional construction applications as well as visible landscape areas where a clean crushed-stone appearance is desired.
Durable, easy to handle, and versatile, #89 limestone performs well across residential, commercial, landscaping, and light-construction projects that require a smaller clean aggregate with reliable drainage and an even finished texture.
Common Applications of #89 Limestone
- Driveway and residential access-road topping
- Walkways, garden paths, and pedestrian areas
- Drainage systems and narrow trenches
- Pipe bedding and utility installations
- Concrete and asphalt aggregate blends
- Decorative landscape beds and borders
