Aggregate Base Course, 3/4" to 1.5"

Aggregate Base Course in a 3/4" to 1.5" size range is a foundational construction material composed of crushed stone or gravel. This material is produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks to achieve a consistent gradation within the specified size range, ensuring reliable compaction and load-bearing properties.

The 3/4" to 1.5" size range offers an optimal balance between stability and drainage. Larger aggregate particles interlock to create a strong, stable base, while the gradation allows for effective water movement, reducing the risk of pooling and frost heave. This makes it ideal for use under roadways, driveways, parking lots, and concrete slabs in both residential and commercial projects. While its coarser texture provides excellent structural support, it may be less suitable for applications requiring a smooth finish or tight compaction, such as top layers or decorative surfaces.
