Limestone 3/4″or 1″ Minus

Our products, Limestone 3/4” or 1” Minus, are types of crushed limestone—one is ¾” rock down to the dust, and the other is 1” down to the dust. The “minus” indicates that it includes various stone sizes, along with the dust and particles resulting from the crushing process.

The mixed sizes mean that each piece of limestone can find a snug fit with its neighbors, making it a stable and sturdy material once compacted. 

These Limestone products are versatile, with many uses in construction, road building, and residential projects. These products are appreciated for their durability, stability, and ability to compact into a strong and sturdy surface.
