Fine Aggregates
Common Sizes
3/16" and Smaller; Other DOT and Special Sizes Available
Fine aggregates are a critical component in asphalt, concrete, and base applications where uniform particle size, reliable compaction, and predictable performance matter. Produced at Martin Marietta facilities, our fine aggregates support projects that demand precision from the ground up.

Why Fine Aggregates
Fine aggregates are selected when surface finish, mix quality, and workability are essential to project success.
Compared to coarser materials, fine aggregates provide tighter gradation and smoother integration into asphalt and concrete mixes, helping achieve consistent strength, finish, and performance across a wide range of construction applications.
Common Applications
Fine aggregates are commonly used in:
- Concrete
- Other Asphalt Surface Treatments
- MSE Wall Backfill
- Select Backfill
- Refractors
- Micro-Surfacing
- Asphalt
- Agricultural Lime
- Snow and Ice Control
(Availability and applications may vary by location.)
