Crushed Stone - Black Limestone

Black limestone crushed stone is a durable construction aggregate known for its striking dark color and robust composition. Produced by mechanically crushing limestone rock, this material offers a consistent texture and angular shape, which enhances stability in various applications.

The black coloration of this limestone aggregate adds a modern, decorative touch, making it a popular choice for both residential and commercial landscaping projects, such as garden pathways, driveways, and accent borders. Its angular edges interlock well, providing excellent load-bearing capacity and resistance to shifting, which is ideal for base layers under patios, walkways, and retaining walls. Additionally, limestone's natural composition helps neutralize acidic soils, benefiting certain landscaping uses.

Pros of black limestone crushed stone include its visual appeal, strong compaction properties, and versatility across a range of construction and decorative projects. However, its dark color may absorb more heat in sunny areas, which could be a consideration for some outdoor installations.
