Crusher run is the most commonly used limestone product. Depending on the customer's needs, this product is available from small ¼” dust for finish grading under paving stones, ¾” -1 ½” size for use in driveways and parking lots, and up to 4” for use as a sub-base in construction or “off-road” use such as for camp-roads and ATV trails.

Retaining Wall Block: Whether you are keeping something out or keeping it in, we have block products that can help. We offer large “barricade” blocks that are 2’x 2’x 6’ (2 tons) with a v-locking system. These are the blocks seen on highways along construction sites…not easily moved. They are used for building silage or manure bunkers on farms as well. We also have decorative (one textured façade) landscape blocks that are 2’ x 2’ x 4’ (1.4 tons) for building landscape walls in a residential or commercial setting where “looks matter.” We have corners and tops for providing a finished product that is rugged yet, elegant. Both styles have a lifting-eye for easy lifting and speedy placement.

Sand: Grainy, sharp, available in various blends and coarseness. Our free stall sand is used by local farmers for livestock bedding. Masonry's use our mason sand for block laying and mixing grout. The coarser filter sand is utilized for sewers and potable water filtration systems. Town, County, and State highway departments use our road sand and sand and salt mix products on the roads to keep ice under control. We also offer raised bed septic sand for managing specific percolation rates.
Sand Specifications:
