Crushed Stone (Limestone) - 1.5" to 3"

Crushed stone in a 1.5" to 3" size range, made from durable limestone, is a versatile aggregate ideal for heavy-duty construction and landscaping projects. Produced by mechanically crushing natural limestone rock, this material features angular edges that interlock well, providing excellent stability and load-bearing capacity.

The larger 1.5" to 3" size is particularly effective for applications requiring superior drainage and erosion control, such as French drains, septic system fields, and large-scale landscaping. Its substantial size makes it less likely to compact, ensuring consistent water flow and preventing washouts. Limestone's natural hardness and resistance to weathering also make it a reliable choice for base layers under roads, driveways, and retaining walls. While its size may not be suitable for surfaces requiring a smooth finish, it excels in structural and drainage roles where strength and longevity are priorities.
