Large 1 1/2–2 1/2" crushed limestone for heavy base

#4 limestone is crushed limestone in big pieces, about 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inches, with the fines screened out. The large angular stones lock into a heavy-duty layer that bridges soft or wet ground, and the wide gaps move a lot of water. Use it for driveway and pad base over soft soil, construction entrances, drainage trenches, and around culverts. It's always limestone, so we only offer it where limestone is quarried nearby. Size varies slightly and color varies by location.

#4 limestone is large, angular limestone about 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inches, guaranteed limestone rather than #4 crushed stone that can be any rock the quarry runs.

Also called: 4 limestone, 1 1/2 inch limestone, 2 inch limestone, large crushed limestone.

✓ Verified buyer · Bought: Drain Rock

The drain rock we received was exactly what we needed for our French drain project. It was ideal and unloaded promptly and right where we needed it to be. I would highly recommend based on excellent service and a great delivered product. I am planning on ordering another 7 tons soon!

Great product, awesome service, for a fair price! Cadian was prompt, thorough, and gave timely updates and even went as far to ensure I was getting the same product I had ordered over a month ago.

Google review · Mentions #57 limestone

I recently used Hello Gravel for a few refresh projects around my Uptown New Orleans home and had a really great experience. I ordered walkway gravel for around the house and paver and fountain areas, plus #57 limestone gravel for the street in front of my house to help with drainage and parking since I park on the street. Everything looked really nice and refreshed afterwards. The whole process was smooth from start to finish. The team was professional, responsive, and really thorough in helping me figure out the right amount of material for each project. Communication was excellent throughout. They texted and called before, during, and after delivery, kept me updated on timing, and even gave me an exact ETA the day of delivery. The delivery itself was handled perfectly. They placed each pile exactly where I needed it, which made spreading and placement much easier. Pricing was good for the quality, and they were able to deliver on the exact date I needed with a convenient delivery window. Would absolutely use Hello Gravel again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Use the calculator with your length, width, and depth. Base layers and construction entrances usually take 4 to 6 inches or more. One ton covers about 60 square feet at 4 inches deep, or about 40 square feet at 6 inches.

It's a standard size number used by quarries and road departments. #4 stone runs from about 2 inches down to about 1 inch, much larger than #57. Exact sizing varies slightly by quarry.

Same size, specific rock. #4 crushed stone can be granite, trap rock, or limestone depending on the quarry. #4 limestone is always limestone, which is a bit softer and usually lighter in color. Pick it when your plans or your contractor call for limestone.

Yes. Big angular stone keeps trucks out of the mud and knocks dirt off tires before they reach the street. Lay it at least 6 inches thick over filter fabric, and check your local permit for the size and length it requires.

It's a base stone. The big pieces can shift under tires and feel rough. For a finished driveway, top it with road base or #57 stone.

By dump truck, straight to your property. The driver dumps it in one pile where you choose. Pick a firm, level spot the truck can reach, clear of cars and overhead wires. Delivery is included in the price you see.
