#4 Stone (1″, Limestone)
Applications & Uses
#4 Stone Limestone in a 1" Size Range
#4 stone limestone in a 1" size range is a durable, crushed aggregate produced from natural limestone rock. The material consists of angular pieces approximately one inch in diameter, offering excellent strength and stability for a variety of construction applications.
The 1" size provides a balance between load-bearing capacity and drainage, making it ideal for use as a base material beneath driveways, parking lots, and roadways. Its angular shape allows the stones to interlock, reducing movement and improving compaction, while the limestone composition ensures long-lasting performance and resistance to weathering. This size is also commonly used in erosion control, retaining wall backfill, and as a sub-base for concrete slabs.
Pros of #4 limestone include its superior compaction, structural integrity, and effective drainage properties. However, the larger size may make it less suitable for applications requiring a smooth surface or tight compaction, such as top layers of walkways or patios. Overall, #4 stone limestone is a versatile and reliable choice for both residential and commercial construction projects.
