Slate Products

Overburden (with proctor)

Overburden is the layer of material located between the topsoil and the slate. It typically contains small pieces of slate mixed with mostly clay soil. Overburden is commonly used as fill material under building pads or in areas where additional fill is required. This material is compactable and is less expensive than both slate and topsoil.

Slate

Soft, finely stratified sedimentary rock that forms in layers. It is generally rectangular in shape and tends to split or break into smaller pieces.

#1 Bank Slate is unprocessed slate that is dug directly from the ground and ranges in size from small to large pieces. It is commonly used as a base surface for roads, building pads, and parking areas.

Crushed slate

Slate that has been crushed and processed into standard sizes for construction use.
#8 Crushed Slate (8" and minus) – Ideal for building road and driveway bases, pads, parking areas, and other foundational construction projects.
#2 Chippy Slate (2" and minus) – Contains more fine material and is commonly used as a finishing layer for lanes, roads, driveways, and parking areas. It is also effective for mud control on job sites and farms, similar to 2A modified stone.
