Limestone Sub-base

Limestone Sub-base: A Versatile Construction Aggregate

The Limestone Sub-base 0-20mm is a finely graded aggregate made from a combination of crushed rock and stone dust. This composition ensures a very low-void content, making it an effective and reliable choice for various construction needs. Locally sourced, this sub-base can come from different types of stone, such as limestone, granite, gravel, or dolerite.

Common Uses for Limestone Sub-base

This aggregate is commonly utilised for several practical applications:

• Road and driveway base preparation
• Sub-base for patio pavers
• General surfacing material
• Filler material for various projects
• Building pads
• Backfill

Ordering and Application Considerations

When planning your project, it's important to consider the volume of Limestone Sub-base required. Available in the convenient grading of 0-20mm, it can be ordered in bulk to suit your project's demands. Ensure that the ground is properly prepared before installation to achieve optimal results, such as a stable road or patio base.

Installation Tips for a Stable Base

Preparation and Layering

For best results, ensure the surface is clear of debris and vegetation. Spread the Limestone Sub-base evenly and compact it thoroughly to minimise voids and enhance stability. This will provide a solid foundation for subsequent layers, whether for roads, driveways, or patios.

Please note that the stones are measured at the narrowest point. The sizes used on the page therefore refer to the technical measurement. Because the gravel is measured at the narrowest point, the actual size may vary slightly.
