Crushed Stone (1/2″ Minus, Limestone, Washed)

Crushed Stone - Limestone, Washed, 1/2" Minus

Crushed stone in a 1/2" minus size, made from washed limestone, is a versatile aggregate ideal for a range of construction and landscaping projects. The "washed" attribute means the material has been cleaned to remove dust and fines, resulting in a cleaner, more consistent product. The 1/2" minus size indicates that the largest particles are 1/2 inch, with smaller particles and fines included, which helps with compaction.

This specific combination is excellent for creating stable bases for patios, walkways, and driveways, as the fines fill gaps between larger pieces for a firm, smooth surface. Washed limestone is also commonly used for drainage applications, pipe bedding, and as a sub-base for concrete slabs. The absence of excess dust makes it cleaner to handle and reduces tracking, while the limestone composition offers durability and a natural appearance. However, the presence of fines means it compacts well but may not provide the best drainage compared to larger, more open-graded aggregates.
