#8 Stone Indot, #8 to 3/8" Size Range

#8 Stone Indot in a #8 to 3/8" size range is a crushed aggregate commonly produced from high-quality limestone or gravel. The "Indot" designation indicates that this material meets Indiana Department of Transportation specifications, ensuring consistent quality and performance for both residential and commercial projects.

The #8 to 3/8" size range offers a balance between compaction and drainage. Its small, angular particles interlock well, making it ideal for use as a top layer for driveways, walkways, and parking lots, as well as a bedding material for pavers and pipe installations. This size is also frequently used in concrete mixes and as a base for permeable pavement systems. The angular shape enhances stability, while the relatively small size allows for smooth finishes and easy handling. Pros include excellent drainage properties and reduced dust compared to finer aggregates, though it may be less suitable for areas requiring heavy compaction.
