Why #89 Limestone works here
Local conditions.
In Orleans Parish where outdoor living is a way of life, #89 Limestone provides the refined finish homeowners want without sacrificing durability. The material is particularly popular in historic neighborhoods where its neutral color and clean lines complement brick patios and iron fencing. It's also termite-proof, unlike wood mulch,a significant advantage in our subtropical climate where termites are a constant concern.
- Driveways (too small for vehicle traffic)
- Heavy drainage applications (limited flow)
- Building pads or foundations
- Areas with leaf debris (hard to clean)
Built for New Orleans
New Orleans homeowners love the clean, minimalist look of #89 Limestone. Unlike rounded pea gravel that scatters everywhere, #89's angular chips interlock and stay where you put them. This is especially important in our high-wind environment,during tropical storms, you want stone that stays in your garden, not on your neighbor's property. The neutral grey color also complements the historic architecture throughout Orleans Parish.

Before you order
Check the site access.
Not every property can accommodate a standard dump truck. Here is what you should check before scheduling delivery.
Street width
Standard trucks need roughly 10 to 12 feet of clear access.
Overhead clearance
Power lines and branches must clear the raised dump bed.
Ground stability
The truck needs firm ground for entry, placement, and exit.
Dump location
Have the exact placement area ready before the truck arrives.
Material delivery notes
Measure walkway or bed area carefully (L × W × D)
Plan for 2-3 inch depth for most applications
Install metal or plastic edging to contain stone
Lay landscape fabric to prevent weed growth
Consider drainage needs before installation
Have wheelbarrow and rake ready for spreading

Quick facts
Material specifications
SpecificationProject note
Stone Size
3/8" Chips
Fine, uniform chips that are small enough for comfortable walking yet large enough to resist washing away. The consistent sizing creates a smooth, level surface.
Angular Profile
Crushed Edges
Unlike rounded pea gravel, these chips have crushed angular edges that interlock together. This 'mechanical bond' keeps the stone in place under foot traffic.
Color
Slate Grey
Natural limestone grey provides a sophisticated, neutral backdrop that complements both modern and traditional New Orleans architecture and landscaping.
Surface Texture
Low-Trip Hazard
The small, uniform size creates a relatively flat surface that's easy to walk on. Much more comfortable than larger crushed stone for bare feet.
