Crushed Limestone is one of the most widely used and versatile materials in Perth, Western Australia.
 
 
What is Crushed Limestone?
Crushed Limestone (also called Limestone Road Base, Limestone Rubble, or simply Limestone Gravel) is a crushed rock product made from natural limestone.
It comes in various sizes, from fine “lime dust” or fines up to coarse rubble around 75 mm or larger.
Colours are typically white, cream, or light yellow, giving landscapes a bright, clean look.
 
What is Crushed Limestone Made From?
Made by quarrying natural limestone rock, which is:
Sedimentary rock composed mainly of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃)
Often sourced from WA quarries around areas like Yanchep, Neerabup, or Moore River
 
It’s crushed and screened to produce:
Fine grades (lime dust or fines)
Medium grades (e.g. 19 mm crushed limestone)
Larger rubble for heavier applications
 
What is Crushed Limestone Ideal For in Perth, WA?
Crushed Limestone is popular in Perth because it:
✅ Compacts extremely well into a solid, hard surface
✅ Provides a light, reflective surface — helps reduce heat in summer
✅ Is locally abundant, making it cost-effective
 
Common uses in Perth:
Driveways and vehicle access ways
Paths and walkways — firm underfoot and neat appearance
Base under paving, concrete slabs, or artificial turf
Rural roads, firebreaks, or hardstand areas
Backfill or levelling ground
Decorative landscaping — brightens up garden beds or verges
 
Perth Advantages:
Works well in sandy soils, stabilising soft ground
Matches WA’s light, coastal aesthetic
Helps reduce dust and erosion in open areas
 
Recommended Thickness for Crushed Limestone Layers
Pathways or pedestrian areas:
🔹 50–75 mm (2–3 inches) compacted
Driveways or vehicle traffic areas:
🔹 75–150 mm (3–6 inches) compacted, depending on expected loads
Base under paving or concrete:
🔹 Typically 75–100 mm (3–4 inches) compacted
Large-scale rural roads or heavy-use areas:
🔹 150–200 mm (6–8 inches) or more, compacted in layers
Always compact in layers no thicker than about 75 mm to ensure solid consolidation.
 
How to Maintain Crushed Limestone Surfaces
Compact thoroughly during installation using a plate compactor or roller.
Top up periodically — typically every 2–5 years for high-use areas.
Rake and level any surface unevenness or minor potholes.
Edge the area to prevent limestone migration into gardens or lawns.
Control weeds with:
Weed mat beneath (for decorative areas)
Spot spraying or manual removal
Re-compact occasionally, especially after heavy rain or traffic.
 
Key Benefits of Crushed Limestone in Perth:
✅ Affordable and widely available locally
✅ Excellent compaction and stability
✅ Light colour reduces surface heat
✅ Matches WA’s natural landscape tones
✅ Great dust control vs. loose sand or dirt
 
Crushed Limestone vs. Road Base vs. Metal Dust:
Crushed Limestone: Light in colour, very stable, decorative and structural uses.
Road Base: Often grey, coarser, strong structural base.
Metal Dust: Fine, grey-blue, smoother finish, excellent for top layers or under pavers.
