Sand - Limestone, 3/32" Size Range

Limestone sand in a 3/32" size range is a finely crushed aggregate produced from high-quality limestone rock. This material is carefully screened to achieve a consistent, fine particle size, making it ideal for applications where a smooth, compactable base is essential.

The 3/32" size ensures excellent compaction and a uniform surface, which is particularly beneficial for creating stable bedding layers under pavers, bricks, or flagstone. Its limestone composition provides natural alkalinity, which can help neutralize acidic soils and improve long-term durability. Common uses include residential patios, walkways, and as a leveling agent for hardscape projects, as well as commercial applications like sports field bases and pipe bedding. The fine texture of this sand allows for easy spreading and finishing, though it may not be suitable for drainage applications where coarser aggregates are preferred.
