You need _____ Tons of #8 Clean Limestone
How To Measure
Measure the length and width of your drainage area or backfill trench. For French drains, measure the trench width and total length.
Depth Recommendations
Drainage/French Drains: 12+ inches (varies by pipe).
Top Dressing Driveways: 1-2 inches (Decorative only).
Window Wells: 6-12 inches.
Clean Stone (No Fines/Dust)
Our local #8 Limestone is a crushed, angular stone ranging from 3/8" to 1". The most important feature is that it is "Clean", meaning it has been washed or screened to remove all the stone dust (fines). This creates void spaces between the rocks, allowing water to pass through instantly.
FAQ
What is #8 Clean Stone best for?
Because it has no dust, it doesn't pack down like cement. This makes it perfect for drainage projects, French drains, backfilling behind retaining walls, and window wells. Water flows right through it.
Can I use this for a driveway base?
We generally recommend a "compactable" stone (with fines) for the base, because you want it to pack hard. However, #8 Clean is excellent for the top layer if you want a clean look without the dust/mud tracking into your garage.
How is this different from #57 stone?
In our area, #8 is slightly smaller and cleaner than standard #57. It is easier to shovel by hand and looks slightly more refined for decorative uses, while still performing the same heavy-duty drainage function.
