Why Limestone Is the Best Gravel for Driveways in Ohio
Martin M • July 21, 2026

It shifts.
It washes out.

Why Limestone Works Best
- Angular edges lock together
- Compacts tightly
- Handles freeze‑thaw cycles
- Resists washouts
- Provides a stable base
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources notes that limestone is one of the most durable aggregates available in the region — making it ideal for rural driveways.
