5/8" Top Course aggregate is a crushed stone material specifically graded to a 5/8-inch size, making it ideal for use as a top layer in road and driveway construction. Produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks, this material features a blend of angular particles and fines, which allows for excellent compaction and a stable, smooth surface.
