Armor Stone (Limestone) in 28" to 44" Size Range

Armor stone in a 28" to 44" size range is a large, durable limestone product specifically quarried and shaped for heavy-duty erosion control and structural applications. Limestone armor stone is formed from high-density sedimentary rock, making it exceptionally strong and resistant to weathering.

The substantial size of these stones-ranging from just over two feet to nearly four feet-makes them ideal for stabilizing shorelines, constructing retaining walls, and protecting slopes or embankments from water and wind erosion. The mass and angularity of limestone armor stone ensure excellent interlocking and stability, reducing movement even under harsh conditions. This size is typically used in commercial waterfront projects, large-scale landscaping, and infrastructure protection, but can also be incorporated into residential designs for dramatic retaining walls or natural-looking barriers. While the large size offers superior protection and longevity, it does require heavy equipment for placement and is not suitable for small-scale or DIY projects.
