Gravel - Limestone, IDOT CA-7, 7" Size Range

Gravel with a limestone composition, classified as IDOT CA-7, in a 7" size range is a durable, angular aggregate produced by crushing natural limestone. The CA-7 specification ensures consistent quality and sizing, making it a reliable choice for demanding construction applications.

The large 7" size provides excellent load-bearing capacity and superior drainage, making this material ideal for heavy-duty commercial uses such as base layers for highways, large parking lots, and erosion control projects. Its angular shape helps it lock together, reducing movement under pressure and providing a stable foundation. While its size and rough texture make it less suitable for decorative or pedestrian areas, it excels in structural and drainage roles where compaction and stability are critical.
