Crushed Stone - Grade 8 Limestone (IDOT CA-6), 3/4" to 1.5"

Grade 8 limestone crushed stone in a 3/4" to 1.5" size range is a versatile aggregate produced by mechanically crushing and screening natural limestone. This material meets IDOT CA-6 specifications, ensuring consistent quality and performance for demanding construction applications.

The 3/4" to 1.5" particle size offers an optimal balance between compaction and drainage. Its angular shape locks together well, making it ideal for use as a base material under driveways, roadways, parking lots, and patios. The Grade 8 specification means it contains a mix of fines and larger pieces, which helps achieve a stable, compacted surface that resists shifting and rutting. Commonly used in both residential and commercial projects, this material is valued for its durability, load-bearing capacity, and ease of installation. While the presence of fines aids compaction, it may reduce drainage compared to clean stone, so it's best suited for structural bases rather than open drainage layers.
