Product Information

Granite Products
Excavated from the ground. Light Brown in colour. Solid, heavier rocks. If not crushed by a machine, the stones are more or less round. Only breaks are from stones hitting stones and breaking. Even if crushed by a machine, only fractured on one side, ie. like a half moon.

Limestone Products
Blasted from a rock face. Light Grey / White in colour. Porous stones, lighter weight. Fractured on two sides, ie. flat on two sides similar to a brick.

"Crushed"
Stones that are fractured or flattened on one or two sides.

"Crusher-Run"

	Granite Screenings 1/4" stone to stone dust. No sand in this product!!! Beige / brown in colour. Better priced than limestone screenings, because it is a more local product. Great compaction.

	HL8 Stone 5/8" stone. Can be round or crushed (see above for description) good for drainage. Used on weeping tiles, in basements before concrete floor is poured, in swales or French drains. Good for around pools, and under decks. 100% automatic compaction in an enclosed area. Not recommended for driveways or walkways, because if the area is not enclosed or bordered the stones will act like marbles and travel. Also, your weight will shift stones and allow for depression which is not good for walking on.
