Aggregate Base Course (Limestone)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course - Limestone
Aggregate Base Course made from limestone is a foundational construction material widely used for its strength and durability. Produced by crushing and screening limestone rock, this material forms a stable, load-bearing layer beneath roads, driveways, parking lots, and building pads. The limestone attribute ensures excellent compaction and long-term performance, making it a preferred choice for both residential and commercial projects.
Limestone's natural hardness and angularity help lock particles together, providing a firm base that resists shifting and settling. This makes it ideal for supporting asphalt or concrete surfaces, as well as for use in pathways, patios, and under pavers. Its mineral composition also offers good drainage while minimizing dust compared to softer aggregates. A key advantage of limestone aggregate base is its ability to create a solid, even surface that stands up to heavy traffic and weathering, though it may require proper grading and compaction for optimal results.
