Asphalt Aggregate (5/8″)
Applications & Uses
5/8" Asphalt Aggregate
5/8" asphalt aggregate is a crushed stone material specifically sized for use in asphalt production and paving applications. Produced by mechanically crushing and screening quarried rock, this aggregate features a consistent 5/8-inch size, which is ideal for creating a stable, durable asphalt mix.
The 5/8" size strikes a balance between compaction and load-bearing capacity, making it suitable for both residential and commercial paving projects such as driveways, parking lots, and roadways. Its angular shape helps the aggregate interlock, enhancing the strength and longevity of the finished surface. This size is also commonly used as a base layer beneath asphalt or concrete, providing excellent drainage while maintaining structural integrity. The main advantage of this aggregate is its versatility and reliability in supporting heavy traffic and resisting rutting, though it may be less suitable for decorative or fine-finish applications.
