Limestone is one of the oldest known building materials, first being used in Ancient Egypt to plaster the pyramids. If you’re looking for something as longstanding as the pyramids, or for a smaller backyard venture, crushed limestone is perfect for your next project.
CRI offers crushed limestone that comes in three sizes – 6mm, 10mm and 19mm – so you can choose the right limestone for you.
Our 6mm limestone is perfect for DIY, especially when building pathways. Or if you’re looking for a multi-purpose limestone then our 10mm limestone is accessible to homeowners and tradies for driveways. And, if you’re in the business of driveways or site pads, then our 19mm crushed lime makes for a superior aggregate material.
