Aggregate Base Course (1 1/2″ To #200 Stone)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course, 1 1/2" to #200 Stone
Aggregate Base Course in a 1 1/2" to #200 stone size range is a well-graded blend of crushed stone and fine particles. This material is produced by mechanically crushing and screening quarried rock, resulting in a mix that includes both larger aggregate pieces (up to 1 1/2") and fine particles that pass through a #200 sieve.
The combination of coarse and fine particles in this size range is essential for creating a stable, compactable base layer. The larger stones provide structural strength, while the fines fill voids and lock the material together, minimizing movement and settlement. This makes it ideal for use as a sub-base for roads, driveways, parking lots, and building pads. Its excellent compaction properties ensure a solid foundation for both residential and commercial construction projects. However, the presence of fines means it is less suitable for drainage applications, as water permeability is reduced.
