#1B Stone (Limestone)
Applications & Uses
#1B Stone Limestone, 3/4" to 2" Size Range
#1B Stone in a 3/4" to 2" size range is a crushed limestone aggregate known for its durability and versatility. Produced by mechanically crushing and screening natural limestone, this material features angular edges that interlock well, providing stability in a variety of construction applications.
The 3/4" to 2" size range makes this stone ideal for projects requiring excellent drainage and load-bearing capacity. Its larger particle size prevents compaction, allowing water to flow freely-making it a top choice for drainage systems, septic fields, and erosion control. In both residential and commercial settings, #1B Stone limestone is commonly used for base layers under driveways, parking lots, and roadways, as well as for decorative landscaping and retaining wall backfill. The limestone attribute ensures a natural, neutral appearance and long-lasting performance, though its larger size may not be suitable for surfaces requiring a smooth finish or easy compaction.
