Asphalt Aggregate (3/4″ Minus)
Applications & Uses
Asphalt Aggregate in a 3/4" Minus Size Range
Asphalt aggregate in a 3/4" minus size range is a versatile construction material composed of crushed stone, gravel, or recycled concrete, specifically sized so that the largest particles are 3/4 inch and smaller. The "minus" designation means the mix includes a range of particle sizes down to fines, which helps the material compact tightly and form a stable base.
This size and gradation are ideal for creating a dense, load-bearing surface, making it a popular choice for use as a base layer beneath asphalt pavement in roadways, driveways, and parking lots. The fines fill in gaps between larger particles, reducing voids and improving compaction, which enhances durability and load distribution. While the presence of fines aids stability, it can also reduce drainage compared to more open-graded aggregates. Overall, 3/4" minus asphalt aggregate is valued for its strength, compaction properties, and suitability for both residential and commercial paving projects.
