Crushed StonesCA16 Crushed Aggregate
CA16 is a clean, uniform ⅜" crushed limestone chip ideal for asphalt surface coats, drainage, pipe bedding, and landscaping. Small in size but big on versatility and performance.
CA16 Crushed Aggregate, commonly known as ⅜" Chips, is a finely sized, clean crushed limestone prized for its uniform particle size and minimal fines content. Its small, angular profile makes it an exceptionally adaptable material, performing reliably across a wide range of construction and landscaping applications.
In asphalt production, CA16 is a go-to aggregate for surface coats and chip seal applications, providing the texture, skid resistance, and durability that high-quality pavement demands. Its open-graded structure promotes excellent water movement, making it equally effective in drainage systems, retaining wall backfill, and pipe bedding — anywhere free-draining aggregate is needed to manage water and protect buried infrastructure. CA16's clean, attractive appearance also makes it a popular choice for decorative landscaping applications, adding texture and visual interest to garden beds, pathways, and ground cover designs.
Common Uses: Asphalt surface coats, drainage systems, landscaping, retaining wall backfill, and pipe bedding.
