Aggregate Base in a 1/2” to 1.25” Size Range
Aggregate base in a 1/2" to 1.25" size range is a foundational construction material composed of crushed stone, gravel, or recycled concrete. This material is engineered to provide a stable, load-bearing layer beneath roads, driveways, patios, and concrete slabs. The specific size range ensures a balanced blend of particle sizes, which enhances compaction and interlocking, resulting in a firm and durable base.
The 1/2" to 1.25" gradation is ideal for projects requiring excellent load distribution and drainage. The larger particles create voids for water to pass through, reducing the risk of pooling and frost heave, while the smaller particles fill gaps for added stability. Common applications include residential driveways, walkways, parking lots, and as a sub-base for asphalt or concrete paving. This size range is easy to work with and compacts well, though it may require mechanical compaction for optimal performance. Its versatility and reliability make it a preferred choice for both DIY and professional construction projects.Applications & Uses
