#89 granite is a small, clean, angular crushed stone commonly used for surface finishing, drainage, concrete production, utility work, hardscape preparation, and decorative landscaping. It generally consists of finely graded granite particles ranging from approximately 0.25 inches to 0.375 inches, although exact sizing may vary by quarry and regional specification.
The granite is crushed and screened to produce hard, fractured particles with angular edges and a relatively consistent size. Most stone dust and fine material are removed during processing, leaving open spaces between the stones that allow water to move through the installed aggregate layer.
Because #89 granite contains minimal fines, it does not compact into the dense, tightly bonded surface created by crusher run or dense-grade aggregate. Instead, the particles settle together while maintaining permeability, creating a clean and stable layer with dependable drainage.
The smaller particle size gives #89 granite a smoother and more refined finished appearance than larger clean aggregates. It spreads easily, grades evenly, and can be placed accurately around pipes, utility lines, landscape edging, patios, walkways, and other narrow or detailed installation areas.
Compared with #8 granite, #89 granite is generally finer and produces a more uniform surface texture. #8 granite is often preferred where a slightly larger stone and greater surface structure are desired, while #89 granite is well suited for top dressing, detailed hardscape work, smaller drainage applications, and decorative areas that benefit from a finer finish.
Granite is naturally hard, abrasion resistant, and durable under repeated exposure to foot traffic, rainfall, temperature changes, and regular outdoor use. Its strength helps the material retain its size, texture, and performance longer than many softer aggregate products.
#89 granite can be installed as a clean finishing layer over a properly compacted aggregate base. The underlying dense-grade material provides primary structural support, while the #89 granite creates a neat, free-draining surface with an attractive natural stone appearance.
Its combination of manageable size, angular stability, dependable drainage, and long-term wear resistance makes #89 granite a versatile aggregate for residential, commercial, landscaping, and light-construction projects.
Common Applications of #89 Granite
- Driveway and access-area top dressing
- Walkways and garden pathways
- Concrete and asphalt aggregate blends
- Drainage areas and narrow trenches
- Pipe bedding and utility installations
- Hardscape and paver preparation
- Decorative landscape beds and borders
- Surface finishing over compacted aggregate base
