Limestone - Slabs and Tiles

Whether you’re looking for a natural stone option for your entry foyer, bathroom vanity, or fireplace mantel, limestone is a stunning choice. Its natural beauty is a welcome addition to any space, and it’s available in both slabs and tiles to meet your needs.

What is Limestone?

Limestone is a sedimentary stone formed at the basin of the sea. It is typically filled with visible fragments of shell and sea life, giving each slab a truly unique appearance. Limestone is primarily composed of calcium carbonate and comes in a variety of colors, making it a popular choice in home and building design. From our popular Belgian Bluestone to Jerusalem Grey and Indiana Limestone, Connecticut Stone takes pride in our limestone offerings and customization options.

Why Limestone For Your Next Project?

If you’re considering limestone for your next project, you’ve come to the right place. It’s an excellent option for interior projects, specifically for fireplace slips and hearths, as well as custom stone mantels. Because the material typically has a soft-looking appearance, it shows off carvings and sculptural details really beautifully, making it a great option for these applications. Limestone is also often used for bathrooms because of its ability to create a quiet, spa-like, serene environment. However, if you choose to install limestone in a bathroom, it’s best to consult a stone professional at Connecticut Stone to ensure it’s suitable for the application before you begin your project. Because it’s more absorbent than other types of natural stone, it’s important to ensure you select the right material for your use case.

When it comes to exterior applications, you have to be a bit more careful with the material you select for your project. Not all limestones are suitable for exterior use, but the ones that are have been tested and proven to withstand the unique New England temperatures and freeze and thaw conditions. If you’re looking for limestone for an exterior project, we recommend our Jerusalem Grey Limestone and Hampton Limestone, both of which come in paving for pool decks and patios.

It’s also worth noting that limestone can be sensitive to acidic products (such as vinegar and lemon juice), so etching can occur in kitchen applications. However, for those who don’t mind putting in a little extra maintenance to remove acid etch marks from limestone countertop surfaces, the beauty of a natural limestone countertop is truly worth the extra care.

Frequently Asked Questions: Aggregates at Connecticut Stone

What’s the difference between masonry and decorative aggregates?
Masonry aggregates are primarily functional—they’re used to create a stable foundation or underlayment for paver and stone installations. They can also be mixed into cement or used for leveling surfaces.

Decorative aggregates, on the other hand, serve both a functional and aesthetic purpose. While they still help with things like drainage and weed control, they’re also chosen for their beauty and visual appeal—enhancing curb appeal in gardens, driveways, or landscaped areas.
What size aggregate do I need?
The size of aggregate you need depends on your project:
  • 3/4" to 1" crushed stone – Ideal for driveways, walkways, and drainage applications.
  • Pea gravel (3/8") – Best for decorative landscaping, garden paths, and playground surfaces.
  • Stone dust or sand – Used as a base material for pavers and patios.
  • Larger aggregates (1–2"+) – Suitable for erosion control, French drains, and foundation work.
Our team can help determine the best size for your specific project needs.
Do you deliver aggregates?
Yes, we offer delivery services for all our aggregate products. Delivery availability and pricing depend on location and order size. Please contact us for details.
Can I pick up aggregates at your location?
Yes, customers are welcome to pick up aggregates directly from our location. We recommend calling ahead to confirm availability and prepare for loading.
Are your aggregates environmentally friendly?
Many of our aggregates are sourced responsibly, and we offer options that promote sustainability, such as recycled stone products.
Do aggregates require maintenance?
Yes, periodic maintenance may be required. For example, gravel driveways may need occasional raking and replenishment to maintain their appearance and function.
Do aggregate colors vary between shipments?
Yes, natural aggregates can exhibit color variations due to differences in quarry batches and geological factors. We recommend requesting a photo of our current stock, visiting our showroom to view materials in person, or requesting a sample to ensure the aggregate meets your expectations.
Which aggregates are barefoot-friendly?
For areas where barefoot comfort is a priority, such as pool surrounds or garden paths, we recommend using smooth, rounded aggregates like pea gravel or river rock. These materials are gentler on feet compared to sharper, crushed stones.
