#8 limestone FAQ (Toledo OH)
What is #8 limestone used for?
It's small, clean, dime-size stone, so it's comfortable to walk on and drains well. It goes on walkways and garden paths, around downspouts and drainage, as topdressing around the yard, and on dog runs and tidy ground cover.
How much does a cubic yard of #8 cover?
About 100 square feet at 2 inches deep. A topdressing coat goes thinner than that. Use the calculator on this page, or call and we'll figure your project.
Is #8 limestone good to walk on barefoot?
It's about the most comfortable crushed stone we carry for walking, since the pieces are dime-size and not sharp like the bigger clean stones. For a play area or path you'd really want soft underfoot, a lot of folks go with pea gravel or a fine sand instead.

What's the difference between #8 limestone and pea gravel for a walkway?
#8 is clean, crushed dime-size stone that packs down and stays put, so it holds a path shape well and drains fast. Pea gravel is rounder and softer underfoot but tends to shift and roll more. Not sure which fits your project? Call and we'll talk it through.
