Crushed Stone (Limestone)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone - Limestone
Crushed stone made from limestone is a versatile construction aggregate known for its durability and strength. Produced by mechanically crushing natural limestone rock, this material features angular edges that interlock well, providing excellent stability for a variety of construction and landscaping projects.
The limestone attribute is significant because it offers a naturally high load-bearing capacity and resists weathering, making it ideal for both residential and commercial applications. Common uses include base layers for driveways, walkways, and patios, as well as backfill for retaining walls and drainage solutions. Limestone's neutral color and clean appearance also make it a popular choice for decorative landscaping.
Pros of using crushed limestone include its excellent compaction properties, which help create a stable foundation, and its ability to promote proper drainage. However, its angular texture can make it less comfortable for barefoot areas compared to rounded aggregates. Overall, crushed limestone is a reliable, cost-effective material suitable for a wide range of construction needs.
