Aggregate Base Course - Washed, Granular, #4 to 1"

Aggregate Base Course in a washed, granular form with a #4 to 1" size range is a high-quality construction material composed of clean, crushed stone and gravel particles. The washing process removes fines and dust, resulting in a cleaner product that reduces the risk of compaction issues and improves drainage performance.

The #4 to 1" size range offers a balanced blend of medium to coarse particles, making it ideal for applications where stability and drainage are both critical. This washed, granular aggregate is commonly used as a base layer for roads, driveways, parking lots, and patios, as well as for sub-base layers beneath concrete slabs and pavers. Its granular nature ensures excellent load-bearing capacity and compaction, while the absence of fines minimizes water retention and frost heave risks. This makes it a preferred choice for both residential and commercial projects requiring a durable, well-draining foundation.
