Crushed Stone (3/4″ Minus, Slag)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone (Slag) - 3/4" Minus
Crushed stone with a slag attribute in a 3/4" minus size range is a durable aggregate produced from the byproducts of steel manufacturing. The "slag" component means this material is made from molten metal residues, cooled and crushed to create angular, hard-wearing particles. The 3/4" minus sizing indicates that the largest pieces are 3/4" in diameter, with smaller particles and fines included, which helps the material compact tightly.
This specific combination offers excellent load-bearing capacity and compaction, making it ideal for use as a base material in driveways, parking lots, roadways, and under concrete slabs. The angular shape of slag particles interlocks well, providing stability and reducing shifting over time. The inclusion of fines ensures a firm, smooth surface after compaction, though it may reduce drainage compared to clean stone. Slag's industrial origin also gives it a unique appearance and high resistance to wear, making it a cost-effective and sustainable choice for both residential and commercial construction projects.
