Dense Aggregate Base Course in a 3/4" Size Range

Dense aggregate base course in a 3/4" size range is a foundational construction material composed of crushed stone, gravel, or recycled concrete, engineered to provide optimal compaction and load-bearing strength. The "dense" attribute means the mix contains a well-graded blend of particle sizes, including fines, which fill the voids between larger stones for a tightly packed, stable base.

The 3/4" size range strikes a balance between strength and workability, making it ideal for supporting heavy loads while still allowing for effective compaction. This material is commonly used in residential and commercial applications such as roadways, driveways, parking lots, and under concrete slabs or pavers. Its dense composition minimizes settling and provides excellent stability, but it may offer less drainage compared to open-graded alternatives. Overall, dense 3/4" aggregate base course is a reliable choice for projects requiring a durable, long-lasting foundation.
