ASPHALT CHIPS is sourced from Ordovician Dolomitic Limestone and manufactured to customer specified physical properties and sizes. It contains minimal fines and deleterious material. Pattison’s quarries yield an exceptional quality extremely hard material that helps to extend the life expectancy of roads. It has superior friction factor, reduces cracks, freeze/thaw impacts, and lowers maintenance costs.
approved by IADOT, MODOT, and MNDOT
It produces the finest aggregates from one of the oldest and
most competent limestone ledges in all of Iowa.
product of years of design, development, innovation, and
the diligent efforts of some of the finest engineers in the
aggregate production industry.
directly into our aggregate production plant. Small aggregates
are loaded from the stock pile to rail car by our state-of-the-art
direct transfer system.
Asphalt Chips - Ordovician Dolomitic Limestone
Asphalt Chips
ASPHALT CHIPS can be washed or dry screened. It is also known as asphalt stone, asphalt aggregate, asphalt chips (1/4″, 3/8″, 5/8″, 3/4″), asphalt rock, and type A asphalt material. Pattison produces this incredibly hard stone from superior quality Ordovician Dolomitic Limestone ledges with our state-of-the-art, jaw/cone crushing plant. Our plant features compression crushing technology that reduces fines generation and increases fractured faces.
Asphalt Chips Certifications
Pattison’s ASPHALT CHIPS is certified for use in Department of Transportation interstate and highways, asphaltic concrete, blacktop, hot mix asphalt roads, chip overlays, ultra thin overlays, and chip seal roads.
Exceptional Quality Source Material
This material is produced to specific physical property specifications. Pattison’s quarries feature a variety of Ordovician Dolomitic Limestone ledges that yield materials that meet our customer’s individual requirements. ASPHALT CHIPS is sourced from durable ledges that have minimal deleterious material inclusion. This material outperforms materials from non-Ordovician quarries on freeze thaw, abrasion, specific gravity and absorption tests. It’s low absorption properties make it the ideal asphalt aggregate as it reduces the mount of petroleum oil required. See what wikipedia has to say.
Asphalt Chips Production
Pattison ASPHALT CHIPS is of exceptional quality, and is approved by the Departments of Transportation in Iowa, Missouri, and Minnesota. It is the optimal choice aggregate for asphalt material projects.
With our direct to rail transfer system, Pattison products move quickly from production to rail loading. This reduces reduces product degradation and handling costs.
More about Ordovician Dolomitic Limestone
When it comes to rock, age really matters. Ordovician Dolomitic Limestone is some of the highest quality, hardest and most durable anywhere in Iowa. Ordovocian formations are only found in the northeast portion of Iowa. Pattison’s Clayton, IA quarry site is right in the middle of it.

State of the art Aggregate Plant
Pattison’s newly installed Cone Crusher and production plant is state-of-the-art, producing some of the highest quality Ordovician Dolomitic Limestone ASPHALT CHIPS.
Material is separated into various required sizes without inducing fractures, while yielding a refined individual rack shape that is the most desirable for tight compaction and stability. Pattison’s new aggregate plant produces ASPHALT CHIPS of exceptional quality.
Logistics second to none
Pattison recently completed its Rail Spur project, extending multiple rail lines directly into our new state-of-the-art aggregate production plant!.
Pattison’s advanced direct to rail loadout system coupled with the Pattison rail spur allows aggregate products to be loaded directly from the production plant on to enclosed rail ore cars for delivery. Eliminating excess handling saves costs, and insures a higher quality product.
Pattison High Quality Aggregates and Proppants
Pattison produces high quality ordovician dolomitic limestone Aggregates and silica proppants. Our Clayton IA, quarry contains multiple limestone ledges yielding material with a variety of properties that meet various requirements. Our products are certified for use by multiple state Departments of Transportation, and the FAA.
