Quarry operators are frequently asked what is the best crushed stone product for a particular use. What product is recommended for a driveway, foundation beneath a patio, backfill behind a wall, or available to build a flower bed? View Project of the Month.

Although operators are always ready with their best suggestions, the Iowa Limestone Producers Association began to wonder if there was a source that answered these questions. Are books available that describe how to build a rock driveway, protect a pond with riprap, or control erosion along a creek? Books and magazines are available describing how to set up a thousand different gardens or build 500 different decks. There are books on brick laying, wiring, building shelves, and on and on. Unfortunately, we could not find any books on the best uses for limestone products.
With this in mind the Iowa Limestone Producers set out to produce a publication that would present in a non-technical manner, the best ways and places to use Iowa limestone. Pictures and drawings are included to show various applications for limestone products. In 1998, the Limestone Handbook awarded the National Stone Association's prestigious "Capstone Award" for Market Development and will be helpful to the small business person, farmer, and board member as they work to build better drives, recreation trails, picnic areas, parking lots, roadways and to reduce erosion. The complete 132-page book is available by contacting the Iowa Limestone Producers Association office. The cost is only $5.00 plus shipping. This is a limited production book so we reserve the right to limit quantities.
