Aggregate Base Course - 3/4" Limestone

Aggregate Base Course in a 3/4" size range, made from durable limestone, is a foundational construction material widely used for its strength and reliability. Produced by crushing and screening limestone rock, this aggregate features angular particles that interlock well, providing excellent load-bearing capacity and stability.

The 3/4" size is ideal for creating a solid, compactable base layer beneath roads, driveways, parking lots, patios, and walkways. Its angular shape ensures superior compaction and minimal shifting, making it a preferred choice for both residential and commercial projects requiring a stable sub-base. Limestone's natural hardness and resistance to weathering further enhance the longevity of the finished surface.

This material is valued for its ease of installation, effective drainage properties, and ability to support heavy loads. While it compacts tightly for a firm foundation, it may not be suitable as a decorative top layer due to its coarse texture. Overall, 3/4" limestone Aggregate Base Course is a versatile and dependable choice for any project requiring a strong, stable base.
