Crushed Stone (1/2″ To 3/4″, Oil Rock)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone Oil Rock (1/2" to 3/4")
Crushed stone oil rock in the 1/2" to 3/4" size range is a durable aggregate specifically engineered for use in oil and chip paving applications. Produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks, this material features angular edges that interlock well, providing a stable base and excellent load-bearing capacity. The "oil rock" attribute indicates its suitability for use with liquid asphalt, making it ideal for chip seal surfaces and other road construction projects.
The 1/2" to 3/4" size range offers a balanced blend of compaction and drainage, ensuring a firm surface that resists rutting while allowing water to pass through efficiently. This makes it a popular choice for residential driveways, rural roads, parking lots, and low-traffic commercial surfaces. Its angular shape enhances traction and helps bind with asphalt, but it may be less comfortable for barefoot traffic and is not typically used for decorative landscaping. Overall, this crushed stone oil rock is valued for its strength, stability, and compatibility with chip seal paving methods.
