#12 Stone Limestone, #100 to 1.5" Size Range

#12 stone in a #100 to 1.5" size range is a versatile limestone aggregate, produced by crushing and screening natural limestone rock. This broad size spectrum includes fine particles up to larger, angular pieces, offering a unique blend of compaction and drainage properties. The limestone attribute ensures a durable, long-lasting material with a neutral, natural appearance that blends well in most settings.

The combination of fine and coarse particles makes this aggregate ideal for applications requiring both stability and drainage, such as sub-base layers for roads, driveways, and parking lots. It is also commonly used in erosion control, pipe bedding, and as a base for patios or walkways. The angular nature of the stone helps it lock together for improved load-bearing capacity, while the limestone composition provides excellent compaction and minimal dust. However, the wide size range may make it less suitable for decorative top layers or surfaces requiring a uniform finish.
