Crushed Stone (Limestone) in 3" to 5" Size Range

Crushed stone made from limestone in a 3" to 5" size range is a robust aggregate ideal for heavy-duty construction applications. Produced by mechanically crushing larger limestone rocks, this material features angular edges that interlock well, providing excellent stability and load-bearing capacity.

The large 3" to 5" size makes this limestone aggregate particularly effective for use as a base layer in road construction, erosion control, and large-scale drainage projects. Its substantial size allows for superior water flow, making it a preferred choice for riprap, culvert bedding, and retaining wall backfill. While its coarse texture and size make it less suitable for decorative or surface applications, it excels in situations where strength, durability, and drainage are priorities. The limestone composition also offers natural resistance to weathering and compaction, ensuring long-lasting performance in demanding environments.
