#5 Stone (Indot) - 1/2" to 1"

#5 Stone in the Indot specification, sized from 1/2" to 1", is a durable crushed aggregate commonly produced from limestone or gravel. The Indot designation ensures the material meets strict standards for gradation and quality, making it a reliable choice for both residential and commercial construction projects.

The 1/2" to 1" size range offers an optimal balance between compaction and drainage. This makes #5 Stone ideal for use as a base material under concrete slabs, driveways, and roadways, as well as for drainage applications such as French drains and septic system fields. Its angular shape helps lock the stones together, providing stability and load-bearing strength, while the Indot specification guarantees consistency and performance. While it compacts well, it still allows for adequate water flow, reducing the risk of pooling or erosion. This makes #5 Stone (Indot) a versatile and dependable aggregate for a wide range of construction needs.
