Bedding (#200 To #4, Lime)
Applications & Uses
Bedding Lime Aggregate (#200 to #4 Size Range)
Bedding lime in a #200 to #4 size range is a finely graded construction aggregate produced from crushed limestone. The material is screened to include particles from very fine (#200 sieve, about 75 microns) up to coarse sand-sized grains (#4 sieve, about 4.75 mm). This gradation creates a blend that is both stable and easy to work with.
The lime attribute means the aggregate is naturally alkaline, which can help neutralize acidic soils and improve long-term durability in certain applications. The fine-to-coarse size range allows for excellent compaction and minimal voids, making it ideal for use as a bedding layer beneath pavers, pipes, and concrete slabs. It is also commonly used in road base construction, horse arenas, and as a leveling material for landscaping projects. Pros include its ability to create a smooth, stable surface and its contribution to soil health in agricultural settings. However, the fine particles may generate dust when dry, so moisture control is recommended during installation.
