Advantages of Granite Crushed Stone over Limestone
Why granite is the superior choice for foundations and roads despite the higher price.

Is granite worth the extra cost, or can you get by with limestone? Let's find out.
Durability
Granite (M1200-M1400) is 2-3 times stronger than limestone (M400-M800).
Frost Resistance
Granite withstands hundreds of freeze-thaw cycles. Limestone absorbs water and cracks from the inside.
Conclusion
For any critical structure, choose granite M1200 or higher.
