This blend merges larger #1 limestone (roughly 2–4 inches in diameter) with slightly smaller #2 limestone (about ½–2½ inches) to form a robust, versatile fill material. Because it’s limestone-based, it provides excellent stability and compaction, making it well-suited for bases, driveways, and drainage projects where both durability and efficient water runoff are desired.

Mulch vs. No Mulch: The Difference
Discover the hidden impact mulch has on your garden. From locking in moisture to preventing pesky weeds, mulch creates a protective barrier that keeps your soil thriving while cutting back on maintenance. Compare the difference between mulched and bare soil, and see how it helps your plants grow stronger, healthier, and more vibrant. It's the secret weapon every gardener needs for long-lasting results.
Stop Weeds
By blocking sunlight, mulch prevents weed seeds from germinating, saving you time and effort while maintaining a tidy garden.
Locks in Moisture
Mulch helps the soil retain water by creating an insulating layer that reduces heat exposure, keeping the ground cool and hydrated.
Improves Soil
As mulch decomposes, it enriches the soil with organic matter, boosting fertility and promoting healthy plant growth.
Shields Soil
Mulch acts as a protective barrier, reducing evaporation and preventing soil from drying out under direct sunlight.
Stunts Growth
Plants without mulch struggle to thrive, as they miss out on consistent moisture, protection, and enriched soil.
Dries Out
Without mulch, the soil quickly loses moisture due to evaporation, leaving plants thirsty and stressed.
Erodes Easily
Bare soil is vulnerable to wind and water erosion, leading to loss of valuable topsoil and nutrients.
