Gravel - IDOT CA-6, 3/4" to 1.5"

IDOT CA-6 gravel in a 3/4" to 1.5" size range is a versatile, crushed stone aggregate commonly used in both residential and commercial construction. Produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks, this material meets Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) specifications, ensuring consistent quality and performance.

The 3/4" to 1.5" size range offers excellent compaction while still allowing for effective drainage, making it ideal for use as a base material under driveways, roadways, patios, and concrete slabs. Its angular shape helps lock pieces together, providing a stable foundation that resists shifting and settling. CA-6's gradation also makes it suitable for use in parking lots, walkways, and as a subbase for pavers. While its coarser texture may be less decorative than finer gravels, it excels in structural applications where strength and durability are priorities.
