#6 Stone (IDOT) - 3/8" to 3/4"

#6 Stone in the 3/8" to 3/4" size range, produced to IDOT (Illinois Department of Transportation) specifications, is a versatile crushed aggregate commonly used in both residential and commercial construction. Manufactured by mechanically crushing larger rocks, this material features angular edges that enhance interlocking and stability in various applications.

The 3/8" to 3/4" size range offers an ideal balance between drainage and compaction. Its angular shape ensures excellent load-bearing capacity, making it suitable for use in road base layers, driveways, and parking lots. The IDOT specification guarantees consistent quality and performance, which is especially important for infrastructure projects. Additionally, #6 Stone is often used in drainage systems, under concrete slabs, and as a backfill material. While its angularity provides superior stability, it may be less comfortable for barefoot areas and is not typically used for decorative landscaping. Overall, #6 Stone (IDOT) is a reliable choice for projects requiring durability, drainage, and compliance with state standards.
