Road Base (1.5″ To 3.5″, Limestone)
Applications & Uses
Road Base - Limestone, 1.5" to 3.5"
Road base in a 1.5" to 3.5" size range, made from durable limestone, is a foundational aggregate commonly used in heavy-duty construction and infrastructure projects. This material is produced by crushing and screening limestone rock, resulting in a blend of angular stones and fines that interlock for superior stability.
The larger 1.5" to 3.5" size range provides excellent load-bearing capacity and compaction, making it ideal for building strong sub-bases for roads, driveways, parking lots, and industrial yards. Limestone's natural hardness and angularity enhance structural integrity, while its composition helps reduce dust and improve drainage. This size is less suitable for decorative or surface applications but excels in supporting heavy traffic and preventing rutting or shifting. Road base limestone is a reliable choice for both residential and commercial projects requiring a robust, long-lasting foundation.
