- Angular crushed stone
A patio or walkway over Illinois prairie clay needs careful finish work, particularly where winter freezing and thawing can expose loose material. #89 Crushed Stone carries fines, so it forms a tighter surface than open stone after compaction. That behavior makes it useful for detailed hardscape placement rather than for open drainage.
The crushed, angular pieces help the material hold in close spaces. It can fill between pavers, provide bedding for flagstone, or be used in chip-seal surfaces. Concrete mixes may also use this compactable aggregate. After the intended hardscape area is prepared, spread the material where it belongs and compact it into place. That is especially helpful where slow-draining Illinois clay can keep moisture near the finished surface.
