#1 Stone Limestone in a 1.5" to 3.5" Size Range

#1 stone limestone in a 1.5" to 3.5" size range is a large, angular aggregate produced by crushing natural limestone rock. This material is known for its durability and strength, making it a reliable choice for heavy-duty construction applications. The limestone composition ensures excellent load-bearing capacity and resistance to weathering, while the large, irregular pieces provide superior stability.

The substantial size of #1 stone makes it ideal for use as a base layer in road construction, erosion control, and large-scale drainage projects. Its angular shape allows the stones to interlock, creating a stable foundation that resists shifting and settling. This size is also commonly used for landscaping features, retaining wall backfill, and as a protective layer around culverts and pipe bedding. While its large size offers excellent drainage and structural support, it is not suitable for areas requiring compaction or a smooth finish. Overall, #1 stone limestone is a versatile aggregate for demanding commercial and residential projects where strength and drainage are priorities.
