Crushed aggregate

Paving aggregate is the crushed rock and manufactured sand blended into hot-mix asphalt. Shape and cleanliness matter: angular, well-graded aggregate locks together to carry the load and hold the binder. Tell us the gradation your asphalt mix design calls for and we crush to it.

What sizes of paving aggregate do you crush?

We crush the coarse and fine fractions your mix references, commonly 20mm and 16mm minus plus manufactured sand. BC producers sell by metric maximum size.

Can you crush to a MoTT or municipal asphalt spec?

We crush to your supplied gradation, including MoTT and municipal references. Send the spec sheet and we produce to it.

Can I pick up at the pit, or do you deliver?

Both. Bring your truck to the Summerland pit and our crew loads it, or we arrange delivery across the South Okanagan for an additional charge quoted per load. We do not run our own trucks. For a spec crush we bring the plant to your site.
