Where are you located?

If in BR, give Jim Stone (SiteOne) a call to determine availability. They may have some and if not, might be able to point you in the right direction.

Crushed limestone is used so extensively that its widely available. Start in Laplace here...LINK /

If their minimum order is too big, ask them who is a nearby reseller. Even modest-size nurseries usually offer it.

Such a thin layer will be scattered by even lite foot traffic... make it thicker. In my experience smooth river gravel stays in place better and looks nicer. In a couple of years no matter how thick and what type you use, you will get a buildup of dirt in the gravel. That does lock the gravel in place but allows weeds/grass to invade. Plan on annual use of Roundup, pre-emerg and weeding. I have a friend in rural WA state who has a large gravel driveway. He cleans it with a propane torch normally used to heat asphalt road patches.

Bulk Limestone is brought down mostly by barge, on the Mississippi River. In BTR, they have a crushed concrete plant off Florida Blvd.

I had a driveway done in crushed concrete and it seemed pretty similar to limestone.

Crushed concrete is cheaper....

Are there pros & cons?
