Crushed Stone (Limestone) - 3" Size Range

3" crushed stone made from limestone is a durable, angular aggregate commonly used in heavy-duty construction applications. Produced by mechanically crushing larger limestone rocks, this material features rough, jagged edges that interlock well, providing excellent stability and load-bearing capacity.

The large 3" size is ideal for projects requiring substantial structural support and effective drainage, such as base layers for roads, driveways, and parking lots, as well as erosion control and retaining wall backfill. Limestone's natural hardness and resistance to weathering make it a long-lasting choice, while its angular shape prevents shifting under heavy loads. However, due to its size, it is not suitable for areas needing a smooth or compacted surface. This aggregate is valued for its strength, drainage properties, and reliability in demanding commercial and residential projects.
