Crushed Stone (3/8″ To 3/4″, Idot, Ca-7)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone - IDOT CA-7, 3/8" to 3/4"
Crushed stone labeled as IDOT CA-7 in the 3/8" to 3/4" size range is a versatile aggregate produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks into angular fragments. This specific gradation meets Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) standards, ensuring consistent quality and performance for construction projects.
The 3/8" to 3/4" size range offers an optimal balance between compaction and drainage. The angular shape of the crushed stone allows it to lock together when compacted, providing a stable base for roadways, driveways, and concrete slabs. At the same time, the size range promotes excellent drainage, making it ideal for use in underlayment for pavements, pipe bedding, and backfill applications. CA-7 is also commonly used in landscaping, walkways, and as a base for pavers. Its main advantages include reliable compaction, reduced settling, and effective water management, though its angularity can make it less comfortable for barefoot areas.
