#53 Stone (1″ Minus, Indot)
Applications & Uses
#53 Stone, Indot, 1" Minus
#53 stone in a 1" minus size range with the Indot specification is a versatile crushed aggregate blend commonly used in Indiana and surrounding regions. This material consists of a mix of crushed limestone or gravel, with particles ranging from 1 inch down to fine dust. The "Indot" designation ensures the product meets Indiana Department of Transportation standards for quality and gradation, making it reliable for both residential and commercial projects.
The 1" minus size means the aggregate contains a range of particle sizes, which allows for excellent compaction and stability. The fines fill in the gaps between larger stones, creating a dense, load-bearing surface that resists shifting and settling. This makes #53 stone ideal for use as a base material under driveways, parking lots, roadways, and concrete slabs. It is also commonly used for building pads, walkways, and as a subbase for pavers. The main advantage of this blend is its superior compaction and load distribution, though it may not be suitable for drainage applications due to the presence of fines.
