Limestone Dust
Limestone dust is 0-4mm granitic limestone dust, it’s highly versatile and a decent substitute for sharp sand. Limestone dust is crushed limestone that can be used as a sub-base for paving and artificial grass. Due to its fine consistency it can be easily compacted and makes for a smooth, flat and firm surface for various applications. 4mm to dust limestone can also be used more widely in construction, for example as a binding agent added to MOT type 1 where the aggregate is too loose.
