Using the wrong gradation for your project
Larger stone (#57) drains but doesn't compact. Finer stone (#610, crusher run) compacts but drains less. Match to your needs.

Understanding Limestone Gradations
The numbers (#57, #67, #89, etc.) refer to standardized stone size gradations. Lower numbers mean larger stones. The right gradation depends on whether you need drainage (larger, cleaner stone) or compaction (smaller stone with fines).

Before You Order
Details worth
getting right.
Skipping compaction between layers
Limestone needs compaction in lifts. Each 4-6 inch layer should be compacted before adding more.
Placing limestone on wet, soft ground
Limestone will sink into saturated soil. Wait for dry conditions or add geotextile fabric first.
Underestimating material quantity
Account for compaction and settling. Order 10-15% extra for large projects.
