#8 Crushed Limestone - (3/8" to 1/2")

Description

Whitish-gray solid stone. Comes from natural sources and is crushed to different sizes. Because it is crushed, it is not round stones, it has corners and edges. It is the type of stone typically used for driveways and parking lots. Slag and recycled concrete can be used for all the same applications as limestone. Many people mistakenly refer to limestone as slag, so if a customer says they want slag, be sure to ask if they really mean limestone. Sold by the ton, approximately 1.5 tons per cubic yard.
