Landscapers use this fine limestone - #10 as sand when laying pavers. It appears very coarse and may be used as a βscreenβ or topcoat over larger #411 limestone when used beneath pavers and natural stone patios or sidewalks.
Compacts are better than similar-sized sand products.
10 Limestone
#10 limestone is a finely crushed aggregate used as a base material for pavers, patios, sidewalks, and hardscape projects in Ohio. It is also used as a screening layer over #411 limestone to create a smooth, compact surface with proper drainage.
Yes, #10 limestone compacts better than sand and creates a stronger and more stable base. Its angular particles lock together, reducing shifting and settling in paver installations and landscaping projects.
One ton of #10 limestone typically covers about 80 to 100 square feet at a 2-inch depth. Coverage may vary based on compaction, base thickness, and project type in Ohio landscaping and construction use.
