Asphalt Mix
Asphalt mix is crushed rock and sand held together by hot liquid asphalt cement. The rock gives it strength, and the asphalt binds every piece into one solid mat once it cools. You spread it hot, roll it flat, and drive on it the next day. It's what most driveways, parking lots, and roads are paved with.
The name just means asphalt mixed with rock. You'll see hot mix, warm mix, and cold patch. Hot mix goes down at about 300°F and is the standard for new paving. Cold patch comes in bags and fills potholes when the plant's closed. Price runs by the ton and tracks the cost of liquid asphalt, which follows oil prices.
What people use it for
How to choose within asphalt mix
Ask before you order
These aren't catalog items. Confirm size, color, and delivery window with the yard before you commit — every load runs differently.
Match the job to the stone
Flagstone, boulders, ballast, glass gravel — each has one right job. Get the job clear first, then the stone follows.
Lead time is longer
A specialty order usually ships slower than a #57 pallet. Plan the delivery date around the material, not the other way around.
