Whether you are batching concrete, laying asphalt, spray sealing a road, building a drainage layer or stemming blast holes on a mine site, we supply the right aggregate at a competitive price per tonne, delivered when you need it. Standard stock sizes are available for next-day delivery across the Hunter, and anything outside our standard range can be sourced through our network of local quarries. Call 1300 150 777 for a delivered price on your job.

Where our aggregate comes from

Our aggregate is sourced from our own quarry, Hunter Blue Metal, and from partner quarries across the Hunter Valley that we have worked with for years. Sourcing from more than one pit means we hold stock of every standard size and can keep supplying through wet weather, plant shutdowns and peak demand. Natural crushed rock aggregate is our core range.

Our aggregate products

All products are sold by the tonne and delivered in bulk. Sizes are nominal.

Single size aggregates

Single size aggregate is crushed rock screened to one nominal size with the fines removed. Use it where a consistent particle size matters: concrete mix design, asphalt and sealing, and free-draining layers. Available in 7mm, 10mm, 14mm and 20mm.

SizeTypical usesCommon applications
7mmBitumen spray sealing, fine asphalt, pipe bedding, decorative and exposed aggregate concreteRoad sealing, driveways and car parks, service trenches
10mmConcrete pump mixes, asphalt, sealing, drainage backfillSlabs and footings, asphalt wearing course, drainage cell and ag pipe backfill
14mmStructural concrete, asphalt production, exposed aggregate finishesCommercial slabs, precast, asphalt base and wearing course
20mmStructural and precast concrete, drainage and filter layers, general constructionFootings and structural pours, subsoil drains, retaining wall drainage, filter media

Blended aggregates

Blended aggregate combines two size fractions for a continuous grading. It packs more tightly than a single size, which improves workability in concrete and stability in fill and drainage layers. Available in 10/7, 20/14, 32/14 and 32/63.

BlendSize fractionsTypical uses
10/710mm and 7mmFine asphalt mixes, sealing, pump mix concrete
20/1420mm and 14mmStructural concrete, asphalt, road construction aggregate
32/1432mm down to 14mmMass concrete, drainage layers, working platforms and hardstands
32/6332mm to 63mmHeavy drainage, subsoil and trench drains, coarse fill

Blast stemming

Singleton Stemming Services was built on blast stemming, and we still regularly supply it to Hunter Valley open cut mines. Stemming is inert crushed rock placed above the explosive charge to confine the blast. We size it to your hole diameter and the material being shot, and deliver to site on your blast schedule. See our mining supply page for how we work with mine sites.

Service area and delivery

We deliver from our depot at 8/42 Spitfire Place, Rutherford, which puts us within about an hour of most sites between Newcastle and Muswellbrook. Regular delivery areas include Maitland, Rutherford, Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens, Cessnock, Kurri Kurri, Branxton, Singleton and Muswellbrook, and we deliver to mine sites and civil projects across regional NSW by arrangement.

Standard stock aggregate is available for next-day delivery. Read more about our bulk transport service.

How much aggregate do I need?

Crushed rock aggregate weighs roughly 1.5 tonnes per loose cubic metre. To estimate tonnes: length (m) x width (m) x depth (m) x 1.5, then add about 10 per cent for compaction and waste. A 20 metre by 5 metre drainage layer at 200mm deep, for example, is 20 cubic metres, or about 33 tonnes with allowance. Send us the dimensions and we will check the quantity before you order.

Need help picking your aggregate or can’t see what you’re looking for?

Our team can recommend the right size and grading for your application and source it for you if it is not on the standard list, whether that is aggregate for a concrete mix design, drainage rock for civil works or a specified product for a construction project.

Aggregate FAQs

Stock, pricing, delivery and quantities, answered.

We stock single size aggregate in 7mm, 10mm, 14mm and 20mm, and blended aggregate in 10/7, 20/14, 32/14 and 32/63. Blast stemming is sized to order for the blast hole and material being shot. If you need a size or grading that is not listed, our sourcing team can supply it through Hunter Blue Metal or our partner quarries.

Aggregate is sold by the tonne and delivered in bulk tipper loads. For large or ongoing requirements such as concrete plants and mine sites we can set up a scheduled delivery program.

Aggregate is quoted per tonne delivered, and the price depends on the size, the quantity and the delivery location. Call 1300 150 777 or use the quote form on this page for a price on your job.

We deliver from our Rutherford depot across Maitland, Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens, Cessnock, Singleton, Muswellbrook and the wider Hunter Valley, and to mine sites and civil projects across regional NSW by arrangement.

We aim for next-day delivery on all standard stock aggregate and blast stemming across the Hunter. Larger or non-stock orders are scheduled with you when we quote.

As a rule of thumb, crushed rock aggregate weighs about 1.5 tonnes per cubic metre when loose. Multiply the length, width and depth of the area in metres to get cubic metres, then multiply by 1.5 for tonnes, and allow around 10 per cent extra for compaction and waste. Our team can check your quantities before you order.

Blast stemming is inert crushed rock placed in the top of a blast hole above the explosive charge to confine the energy of the blast. It is sized to the hole diameter and the material being blasted. Singleton Stemming Services was built on supplying stemming to Hunter Valley open cut mines and still supplies it to specification alongside the full aggregate range.
