Crushed Stone (Limestone) - 1.5" Size

1.5" crushed stone made from limestone is a durable, angular aggregate commonly used in heavy-duty construction and landscaping projects. Produced by mechanically crushing natural limestone, this material features sharp edges and a consistent size, which enhances its load-bearing capacity and interlocking ability.

The 1.5" size is ideal for applications requiring excellent drainage and stability, such as base layers for roads, driveways, and parking lots, as well as erosion control and large-scale drainage systems. Limestone's natural hardness and resistance to weathering make it a long-lasting choice, while its angular shape prevents shifting and settling under heavy loads. However, due to its larger size, it is less suitable for areas needing a smooth, compacted surface. This material is valued for its strength, reliability, and versatility in both residential and commercial settings.
