Crushed Stone - Limestone, 1/4" Minus

Crushed stone made from limestone in a 1/4" minus size range is a versatile aggregate ideal for a variety of construction and landscaping projects. This material consists of finely crushed limestone particles, including both small stones and stone dust, produced by mechanically crushing larger limestone rocks.

The 1/4" minus sizing means all particles are 1/4 inch or smaller, allowing for excellent compaction and a smooth, stable surface. The limestone attribute provides natural durability and a neutral appearance, making it suitable for pathways, patios, paver bases, and as a top layer for driveways. Its fine texture fills gaps effectively, reducing movement and preventing weed growth. While it compacts well and offers good drainage, the presence of stone dust can make it less permeable than larger, clean aggregates. This makes it a top choice for areas requiring a firm, level base or a finished surface with minimal shifting.
