#1A Stone Limestone (1/4" to 3/4")

#1A stone in a 1/4" to 3/4" size range is a crushed limestone aggregate known for its versatility and clean, angular appearance. Produced by mechanically crushing limestone, this material offers excellent strength and durability, making it a reliable choice for a variety of construction and landscaping projects.

The 1/4" to 3/4" size range provides a balance between compaction and drainage. The smaller particles fill gaps for stability, while the larger pieces allow water to pass through, reducing the risk of pooling. This makes #1A limestone ideal for use as a base layer under patios, walkways, and driveways, as well as for drainage solutions such as French drains and pipe bedding. Its angular shape helps lock pieces together, minimizing shifting and settling over time. While it compacts well, it may not provide as smooth a finish as finer materials, but its excellent drainage and load-bearing properties make it a top choice for both residential and commercial applications.
