#411 Stone (1″ Minus, Limestone)

#411 Stone - Limestone, 1" Minus

#411 stone in a 1" minus size range is a versatile construction aggregate composed primarily of crushed limestone. This material is produced by crushing larger limestone rocks and screening them to ensure a mix of particles ranging from 1 inch down to fine dust. The "minus" designation means the aggregate contains a blend of larger and smaller pieces, which helps it compact tightly.

The combination of limestone and the 1" minus gradation makes #411 stone ideal for creating stable, load-bearing surfaces. Its excellent compaction properties make it a popular choice for base layers under driveways, patios, pavers, and roadways. The fine particles fill voids between larger stones, resulting in a dense, solid base that resists shifting and settling. While its compactability is a major advantage, the presence of fines means it may not drain as freely as more open-graded aggregates, so it's best used where drainage is not the primary concern.

#411 limestone is valued for its strength, affordability, and ease of installation, making it suitable for both residential and commercial projects requiring a reliable sub-base or compacted fill.
