Crushed Stone
Limestone, dolomite and granite are the most common types of rock processed into crushed stone. Limestone and dolomite account for 71% all crushed stone; granite makes up 15%. The remainder is sandstone, quartzite and other types of rock. It is produced by crushing quarried rock, then screening it to sizes appropriate for the intended use.
Limestone is the most common used crushed stone because it’s widely available and suitable for many different applications. It’s the primary ingredient of cement, the main component of asphalt and concrete, and a base material for highways, rural roads and buildings. Applications outside of construction include agricultural lime for soil neutralization. Production of crushed stone has three stages: Primary crushing to break down the stone to a manageable size; secondary and tertiary crushing to render the rocks into sizes specific to their applications; and screening to separate the crushed stone for further processing or for finished products sizes.

Sand and Gravel
Natural sand and gravel is usually dug or dredged from a pit, bank, river, lake or seabed. In most cases, minimal processing is needed beyond washing and screening the material to separate it by particle size. While they share common uses and applications, crushed stone and sand and gravel differ in their physical properties and production.
Sand and gravel are naturally occurring materials shaped by the water in which it is formed and transported. Erosion and weathering render the stone round instead of angular. This shape is the principle difference between crushed stone and sand and gravel. About 44% of construction sand and gravel is used as concrete aggregates, 25% for road base, and 13% as aggregate for asphalt. The remainder is used for base, fill and other applications.

Recycled Concrete Aggregates
Go Green! Weber Materials provides several eco-friendly initiatives to recycle old concrete. At most locations, we offer crushed recycled concrete in a variety of gradations which makes for an excellent base material for slabs and concrete drives. Additionally, Weber provides economical fill material to get your site on grade.
More recently another type of aggregate has emerged: recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) which is produced by crushing concrete reclaimed from concrete buildings, slabs, bridge decks, demolished highways, and other structures. Aging infrastructure, scarce landfill space, cost savings and environmental benefits all fuel the growing demand for concrete recycling.
Concrete from demolition sites is crushed, processed to remove metal such as reinforcing steel, and then screened to appropriate sizes. The crushed concrete is then re-used as aggregate for fill, road base or even new concrete – many of the same applications as conventional crushed stone.
One approach is to haul the concrete debris to a permanent recycling facility or quarry for crushing and screening. We accept material to our recycle yards directly providing you savings from transport and fees associated with traditional landfills.
Recycled concrete currently supplies about 5% of aggregate use. The bulk of recycled aggregates – about 68 % – is used as road base. The remainder is used for new concrete mixes (6%), asphalt (9%) and fill.
Recycling concrete features both cost savings and environmental benefits:
- Reduced disposal of concrete in landfill
- Conservation of natural resources
- Reduced cost for raw materials
- Energy savings from less processing and transportation

Aggregate Sizing
Fine
Fine crushed stone aggregates consist of particle sizes that are typically less than 3/8-inch (9 mm). Fine aggregates are used in asphalt, concrete, backfill, construction and specialty applications.
Common Uses
- Concrete
- Asphalt
- Backfill and bedding materials
- Skid resistance on ice or snow
- Agricultural-lime (Ag-lime)
- Stabilized earth or reinforced soils
Sizes and Designations
Common designations include, but are not limited to: Concrete Sand, Asphalt Sand, Manufactured Sand (Man Sand), Dry & Washed Screening
Coarse
Coarse aggregates consist of gravel, crushed stone or recycled concrete with particle sizes of ranging from 3/8-inch to 1.5 inches. Coarse aggregates are used in a wide range of construction applications, notably in concrete and asphalt mixes.
