Crushed Stone - Limestone, Class 2, Amber

Crushed stone made from limestone in a Class 2 size range is a versatile aggregate known for its durability and strength. The amber color adds a distinctive, warm appearance, making it suitable for both functional and decorative uses. Produced by mechanically crushing limestone, this material features angular edges that interlock well, providing excellent stability for various construction applications.

The Class 2 size range offers a balanced particle size-large enough to promote effective drainage, yet small enough for good compaction. This makes it ideal for use as a base material in road construction, driveways, and parking lots, as well as for backfilling and underlayment in patios and walkways. The limestone attribute ensures a high load-bearing capacity and resistance to weathering, while the amber hue can enhance the visual appeal of landscaping projects.

Pros of this material include its superior compaction, reliable drainage, and attractive color. However, the angular nature may make it less comfortable for barefoot areas compared to rounded aggregates. Overall, Class 2 amber limestone crushed stone is a practical and aesthetically pleasing choice for a wide range of residential and commercial projects.
