Aggregate Base Course (1″, Limestone)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course - Limestone, 1" Size Range
Aggregate Base Course in a 1" 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 offers a consistent, angular profile that interlocks well when compacted.
The 1" size is ideal for creating a stable base layer beneath roads, driveways, parking lots, and patios. Its larger particle size ensures excellent load-bearing capacity and effective drainage, reducing the risk of pooling water and frost heave. Limestone's natural hardness and angularity enhance compaction, making it less prone to shifting under heavy traffic. While its coarser texture may not be suitable for top surfaces or decorative applications, it excels as a sub-base where strength and longevity are priorities.
