Due to their weight, placing a layer of limestone landscape rocks on top of the landscape prevents the growth of unwanted weeds.
Protect Your Client’s Property With
Limestone Landscape Rock
Limestone rocks are large, angular boulders that can be used as seawalls to protect properties. Commercial and residential landscapers need limestone rock of varying sizes to design a shore protection retaining wall that minimizes erosion. As a leading supplier of sand and stone products, Pontotoc offers high-quality limestone for the landscaping industry. Our rip rap for retaining walls effectively channels water runoff and currents away from a property.
Why Use Limestone Rip Rap for Erosion Control?
Erosion is when water flow or wind removes soil, rock, or other materials from the earth’s surface and transports it to another location. The effects of erosion are costly, including degradation, increased flooding, and the loss of soil nutrients. Limestone landscape rocks prevent erosion by forming a seawall and absorbing energy from currents, water runoff, and waves.
However, installing a rip rap shoreline is more than simply dumping limestone. Landscapers have to grade the shore to create a stable surface and then place a layer of gravel before adding the large anchor stones. Once the large stones are in place, smaller rocks are used to create a channel and form a protective layer around the shoreline. Pontotoc offers various sizes of limestone for landscaping, ranging from three-inch rocks to boulders. We also provide crushed stone and screening to fill any gaps in your shoreline erosion strategy.
Additional Uses of Limestone Landscape Rock
Along with forming an effective erosion control solution, limestone has other applications for the landscaping industry. These include:
