Crushed Stone (3″, Limestone, Idot, Ca-1)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone - Limestone, IDOT CA-1, 3" Size
Crushed stone in a 3" size range, made from durable limestone and meeting IDOT CA-1 specifications, is a robust aggregate ideal for heavy-duty construction needs. Produced by mechanically crushing and screening limestone, this material features angular edges that interlock for enhanced stability and load-bearing capacity.
The large 3" size is particularly effective for applications requiring substantial structural support and excellent drainage, such as railroad ballast, base layers for highways, erosion control, and large-scale commercial site preparation. Its size and angularity make it less suitable for compacting into a smooth surface, but highly effective at preventing washouts and providing a stable foundation in demanding environments. Limestone's natural strength and the IDOT CA-1 grading ensure consistent quality and performance for both residential and commercial projects.
