When creating a driveway or path, there are more options available than just concrete and asphalt. While these two materials work well, people who want a more aesthetically pleasing look may choose a construction aggregate. Below, Manchester Aggregate Supply in Hartford County, CT, explains what crushed stone aggregate is and why you may want to use it in your next landscaping project.

What Is Crushed Stone Construction Aggregate?

construction aggregateConstruction aggregate refers to material like gravel, slag, sand, or stone that can be used on various building projects. These materials are often found in concrete and can work as septic drain fields or to build a base for foundations and roads. You may spot large piles of aggregate near building sites, for example, before it is moved into place. Homeowners may use crushed stone aggregate in more visible ways due to its appearance, like for driveways or sidewalks.

Not only is crushed stone construction aggregate appealing from an aesthetic perspective, but it also promotes excellent drainage for areas that get ample rain or snowfall. Some homeowners choose this material because it can be recycled, which is more environmentally friendly than creating new concrete or asphalt. You can even choose the size and coloration of the stone to suit your aesthetic needs and match a new crushed stone aggregate coloration to that of an existing driveway or path.
