Crushed Stone (3/4″, Asphalt)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone for Asphalt in a 3/4" Size Range
Crushed stone in a 3/4" size range, specifically produced for asphalt applications, is a durable aggregate made by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into angular fragments. This material is carefully sized to ensure consistency, which is essential for creating stable and long-lasting asphalt mixes.
The 3/4" size is ideal for asphalt because it provides excellent interlock and load distribution, enhancing the structural integrity of paved surfaces. Its angular shape allows for superior compaction and bonding with asphalt binder, resulting in smoother, more resilient roads, driveways, and parking lots. This size also promotes effective drainage, reducing the risk of water damage and potholes.
Commonly used in both residential and commercial paving projects, 3/4" crushed stone for asphalt is valued for its strength, stability, and reliable performance. While its angular texture may make it less suitable for decorative or barefoot areas, it excels in heavy-duty, high-traffic environments where durability and longevity are priorities.
