Oil Mat Asphalt in a 1/2" Size Range

Oil Mat asphalt in a 1/2" size range is a specialized construction aggregate blend designed for paving and surfacing applications. This material consists of crushed stone or gravel coated with a layer of asphalt binder, creating a durable and flexible mat. The 1/2" aggregate size ensures a balanced mix that provides both structural strength and a relatively smooth surface finish.

The 1/2" size is ideal for achieving optimal compaction and load distribution, making it suitable for road bases, parking lots, driveways, and patching projects. The asphalt coating enhances water resistance and reduces dust, while also improving the material's ability to bond and set quickly. This combination offers excellent durability and weather resistance, though it may be less decorative than other surface options. Oil Mat asphalt is valued for its ease of installation and long-lasting performance in both residential and commercial settings.
