Product Overview

Crushed limestone used for driveways, road base, and stabilization where durability and drainage are important. Its gradation allows stone to interlock while maintaining void space for water movement. Performance depends on installation depth, compaction, and underlying soil conditions.

Why This Material Works
Its gradation allows for strong interlock while still promoting drainage. This balance makes #5 reliable under repeated traffic and changing weather conditions.

Common Applications

  • Driveways and access roads
  • Road construction
  • Ground stabilization

Material Characteristics

  • Versatile gradation for broad use
  • Strong interlock and load support
  • Performs well under repeated traffic

Planning Notes
Final performance depends on proper depth and compaction. Site drainage and intended use should be considered when selecting #5 as a base or surface layer.
