Crushed Stone (3/4″, Limestone)
Applications & Uses
3/4" Crushed Stone - Limestone
3/4" crushed stone made from limestone is a versatile aggregate produced by mechanically crushing larger limestone rocks into angular pieces. The 3/4" size range offers an ideal balance between compaction and drainage, making it a popular choice for a wide variety of construction and landscaping projects.
The limestone attribute provides excellent durability and load-bearing strength, while the angular shape of the crushed stone helps it lock together when compacted, reducing shifting and settling over time. This makes it especially suitable for use as a base material under driveways, patios, walkways, and concrete slabs. It is also commonly used for drainage solutions, such as French drains and septic system bedding, due to its ability to allow water to flow through while preventing soil migration.
Pros of this material include its stability, ease of compaction, and resistance to erosion. However, the angular edges can make it less comfortable for barefoot areas compared to rounded aggregates. Overall, 3/4" limestone crushed stone is a reliable, cost-effective choice for both residential and commercial construction needs.
