Armor Stone (Limestone) in 40" to 51" Size Range

Armor stone in the 40" to 51" size range is a large, durable limestone product specifically quarried and shaped for heavy-duty construction and landscaping applications. Limestone armor stone is valued for its natural strength, weather resistance, and attractive appearance, making it a preferred choice for both functional and aesthetic projects.

The substantial size of these stones provides exceptional stability and mass, which is critical for erosion control, shoreline protection, and retaining wall construction. Their weight and angularity help them interlock securely, reducing movement and providing long-term structural integrity. Common uses include breakwaters, seawalls, large retaining walls, and landscape features in both residential and commercial settings. While the large size offers superior protection and visual impact, it requires heavy equipment for placement and is not suitable for small-scale or DIY projects.
