#4 Stone Limestone (3/4" to 1.5")

#4 stone in a 3/4" to 1.5" size range is a durable aggregate made from crushed limestone. This material is produced by mechanically crushing larger limestone rocks, resulting in angular pieces that interlock well when compacted. The limestone composition ensures excellent strength and longevity, making it a reliable choice for demanding construction projects.

The 3/4" to 1.5" size range offers a balance between stability and drainage. The larger, angular particles create voids that promote efficient water flow, making this stone ideal for drainage applications, erosion control, and as a base layer for roads, driveways, and parking lots. Its size also makes it less likely to shift under heavy loads, providing a stable foundation for both residential and commercial projects.

Pros of #4 limestone include its superior load-bearing capacity, resistance to compaction, and effective drainage properties. However, its larger size can make it less suitable for areas requiring a smooth, compacted surface. Overall, #4 limestone is a versatile aggregate valued for its strength and performance in foundational and drainage-focused applications.
