Crushed Stone (Limestone), 1" to 3"

Crushed stone in a 1" to 3" size range, made from durable limestone, is a versatile aggregate commonly used in both residential and commercial construction. Produced by mechanically crushing limestone rock, this material features angular edges that interlock well, providing stability and strength for a variety of applications.

The larger 1" to 3" size makes this limestone crushed stone ideal for projects requiring excellent drainage and load-bearing capacity. It is frequently used as a base layer for driveways, roads, and parking lots, as well as for erosion control, landscaping, and retaining wall backfill. The angular shape helps prevent shifting, while the limestone composition offers long-lasting performance. However, due to its size, it is not suitable for compacted surfaces or areas requiring a smooth finish. This aggregate is valued for its durability, effective drainage, and ability to support heavy loads.
