Aggregate Base Course - Limestone Crusher Run, 2" Minus

Aggregate Base Course in a 2" minus size, made from limestone crusher run, is a foundational construction material prized for its strength and versatility. Produced by mechanically crushing limestone, this material contains a mix of stone fragments up to 2 inches in diameter, along with fine particles. The "crusher run" attribute means the aggregate includes both larger stones and fines, which help bind the material together when compacted.

The 2" minus size range is ideal for creating a stable, load-bearing base layer in roadways, driveways, parking lots, and under concrete slabs. The combination of coarse and fine particles ensures excellent compaction, reducing voids and providing a solid foundation that resists shifting and settling. Limestone's natural durability and angular shape further enhance interlocking and load distribution. While this material offers superior stability and drainage, its rough texture and fines content may make it less suitable for decorative or exposed surfaces. Overall, it's a reliable choice for both residential and commercial base applications where strength and longevity are priorities.
