#53 Stone, Commercial Limestone, 1" Minus

#53 stone in a 1" minus size range is a versatile commercial-grade limestone aggregate. Produced by crushing and screening limestone, this material contains a mix of stone pieces up to 1 inch in diameter, along with smaller particles and fines. The blend of sizes allows for excellent compaction, making it a reliable base material for a variety of construction projects.

The 1" minus grading ensures that the aggregate locks together tightly, providing a stable foundation that resists shifting and settling. This makes #53 stone ideal for use under driveways, parking lots, roadways, and concrete slabs. It is also commonly used for building pads, walkways, and as a sub-base for pavers. The commercial limestone attribute means it offers high durability and load-bearing capacity, suitable for both residential and heavy-duty commercial applications. While the presence of fines aids compaction, it may reduce drainage compared to cleaner, larger aggregates.
