Crushed Limestone
Buy High-Quality Crushed Limestone Gravel Directly from China Supplier 1. What Is Crushed Limestone? Crushed limestone is a processed form of natural limestone rock, mechanically broken down into various sizes for specific applications. It typically appears in off-white to light gray tones and is composed primarily of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) with a purity often exceeding 95%. Unlike compacted limestone, which refers to the installation process where the material is compressed to increase stability and load-bearing capacity, crushed limestone refers to the raw or loose material in its granular state. It is commonly graded and categorized by particle size. We supply a wide range of crushed limestone sizes in bulk, loose form, or custom bagging options. 2. Applications of Crushed Limestone ✅ Driveways & Road Base Crushed limestone is a preferred material for driveways due to its excellent compaction, high load-bearing capacity, and cost-efficiency. It outperforms traditional gravel in many aspects, especially when layered and compacted correctly. 👉 Learn more about the performance differences between heavy, light, and nano calcium carbonate in road applications in our guide: Comparison Between Heavy, Light, and Nano Calcium Carbonate ➡️ Recommended sizes: 5–20 mm or 20–40 mm ➡️ Compaction tip: Use a vibrating plate compactor for layered stability. ✅ Patios & Pathways Crushed limestone is an ideal base for patio pavers and garden paths. Its natural color enhances aesthetics while its grain locks firmly during compaction, providing a permeable yet stable base. ➡️ Recommended sizes: 0–5 mm (top layer), 5–20 mm (base layer) ✅ Landscaping & Gravel Gardens Use crushed limestone to design gravel gardens or modern hardscapes. Its light tone reflects sunlight, adding brightness to outdoor spaces. It also prevents weed growth when installed with geotextile layers. ➡️ Recommended for: Decorative mulch, base layers, walkways ✅ Construction Sub-Base Crushed limestone serves as a load-distributing…
