Crushed Stone Limerock in 3/8" Size Range

Crushed stone limerock in a 3/8" size range is a versatile aggregate produced by mechanically crushing limestone rock into angular fragments. This specific size offers a balance between compaction and drainage, making it ideal for a variety of construction and landscaping applications.

The 3/8" size is small enough to create a stable surface yet large enough to allow for effective water runoff, reducing the risk of pooling. Limerock's natural composition provides excellent load-bearing strength and durability, making it suitable for pathways, driveways, and as a base material for pavers or concrete slabs. Its angular shape helps lock pieces together, enhancing stability but making it less comfortable for barefoot use compared to rounded aggregates. This material is also commonly used in road construction, pipe bedding, and as a decorative ground cover. While it compacts well, its smaller size may generate some dust during installation.
