Frequently Asked Questions
How much crushed limestone for a driveway?
A 10x40 ft driveway at 6" depth needs about 5.9 tons: (400 x 0.5) / 27 = 7.4 cu yd x 1.55 = 11.5 tons.
What size crushed limestone is best for driveways?
#57 stone (1-1.5") is standard for driveways. #8 (3/8-1/2") is better for walkways. #4 (2-4") is used as base course.
Does limestone weigh more than gravel?
Crushed limestone is slightly denser — 1.55 tons/cu yd vs gravel at 1.4 tons/cu yd. This is because limestone packs tighter.
