When you are looking for the premier source for asphalt and aggregate production in Central Texas, look no further than Texas Materials.
We are paving aggregate specialists. Our construction aggregates form the foundation of our region’s cities, towns and transportation networks: houses and apartments, roads, bridges, parking lots, commercial buildings, retail spaces, schools and hospitals, airports and runways and sewer systems.
From local granite, to limestone and traprock, our quarrying process begins with drilling and blasting the rock into smaller pieces. Then we precisely crush and screen the aggregates to produce the many sizes and specifications our customers need for their projects.
Texas Materials’ Base & Fill applications include foundations for highways and structures road shoulder and unpaved road stabilization, driveways, engineered backfill, cement-treated base, and equipment support pads on jobsites.
Our customers specify a variety of base and fill materials, including Base, Dense-Graded Base, Graded Base Course (GAB), Aggregate Base Course (ABC). Common sizes we produce are 1-1/2″ and smaller and other DOT sizes are available.
Coarse aggregate, which is also known as chip and cleanstone, is specially engineered at Texas Materials and one of our premier products. Our experience is that it provides outstanding application performance, bound or unbound. Some of the main applications include concrete, asphalt, MSE wall backfill, and railroad ballast. Common sizes we produce are 4” – 3/16” and other DOT sizes and special sizes are typically available.
