#57 Stone (#4 To 1″, Washed, Soft, Limerock)
Applications & Uses
#57 Washed Soft Limerock Stone (#4 to 1" Size Range)
#57 stone in a washed, soft limerock composition and a #4 to 1" size range is a versatile aggregate ideal for a variety of construction and landscaping projects. This material is produced by crushing natural limerock, then washing it to remove fines and dust, resulting in cleaner, more consistent stones. The "soft" attribute refers to the limerock's lower hardness compared to granite or quartz, making it easier to work with in certain applications.
The #4 to 1" size range offers excellent drainage properties, making this aggregate a popular choice for French drains, septic system bedding, and foundation backfill. Its washed nature reduces dust, which is beneficial for cleaner installations and improved air quality on site. While the softer limerock is easier to shape and spread, it may not be as durable under heavy loads as harder stone types, so it's best suited for light- to medium-duty applications such as driveways, walkways, patios, and decorative landscaping. Overall, #57 washed soft limerock stone provides a cost-effective, easy-to-handle solution for both residential and commercial projects where drainage and workability are priorities.
