Description:
Construction aggregates are an essential product for numerous construction applications. For pavements, they act as the principal load-supporting component. For concrete, limestone aggregate offers better strength and better value than the commonly used granitic aggregates. They are also used in road base, structural fill, ballast, drainage, and armor stone.
Benefits:
- Quality control
- Adherence to specifications
- Lighter when compared to granite
- Durable and wear resistant
- Low silica content

Limestone Aggregate Production
Production of limestone aggregate requires a multistage process that sizes and separates various size fractions - this process results in a finished product of appropriately sized rock for specific uses.
Stone is mined from solid rock formations from either surface or underground mines. The limestone is then processed through a series of crushers and screens until it is the appropriate size for use in construction applications.
Carmeuse operates in various regions, some of which are serviced by Carmeuse Group member companies such as Yager Materials and Schlegel Sand & Gravel.
Specifications
A full range of crushed limestone aggregate, natural crushed stone, standard state DOT blends and natural sand and gravel are available for purchase through our Carmeuse subsidiaries, Yager Materials and Schlegel Sand & Gravel.
Due to the broad range of options related to sizing, purity, and composition, please contact us to discuss your specific needs.
Limestone Aggregate Uses
Limestone aggregates are utilized to support foundations, provide drainage, act as the skeleton for our roads and highways and are the primary constituent in the production of concrete and asphalt. Finding a locally sourced aggregate capable of meeting the specifications of your project can be a challenge. Meeting this demand with desirable crushed limestone aggregate is every producer’s goal.
We test our products to ensure durability and grading to meet the various ASTM, AASHTO and State Department of Transportation (DOT) specifications. Common applications for our aggregates include:
- Production of asphalt
- Road base/Road construction
- Erosion control/riprap
- Soil stabilization
- Concrete production
- Drainage
