Recycled Aggregate, 3" Minus, Concrete - Brown

Recycled aggregate in a 3" minus size range, made from processed concrete, is a sustainable construction material ideal for heavy-duty applications. This product consists of crushed, screened concrete pieces up to 3 inches in diameter, with smaller particles and fines included. The brown coloration is typical of recycled concrete and blends well with natural surroundings.

The 3" minus sizing provides excellent compaction and load-bearing properties, making it suitable for use as a sub-base in road construction, parking lots, and large driveways. Its recycled nature not only diverts waste from landfills but also offers a cost-effective alternative to virgin aggregates. While the presence of fines aids in compaction, it may reduce drainage compared to clean stone. This material is valued for its durability, environmental benefits, and versatility in both residential and commercial projects.
