Product Specifications
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course - Crusher Run, 1/2" Minus
Aggregate Base Course with a Crusher Run attribute in a 1/2" minus size range is a versatile construction material composed of crushed stone and stone dust. The "crusher run" process ensures that the aggregate contains a mix of angular particles and fines, which allows for excellent compaction and stability. The 1/2" minus sizing means all particles are 1/2 inch or smaller, creating a dense, interlocking base layer.
This material is ideal for use as a sub-base for driveways, walkways, patios, and roadways, as well as under concrete slabs and pavers. The fine particles fill voids between larger stones, resulting in a firm, stable surface that resists shifting and settling. Its excellent compaction properties make it a top choice for both residential and commercial projects where a solid foundation is critical. However, the presence of fines means it may retain moisture and is less suitable for drainage applications compared to more open-graded aggregates.
