Aggregate Base Course (1/2″ To 6″)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course in a 1/2" to 6" Size Range
Aggregate Base Course in a 1/2" to 6" 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, parking lots, and building foundations. The wide size range allows for excellent compaction and interlocking, creating a dense, durable base that resists shifting and settling over time.
The combination of fine and coarse particles in this aggregate ensures optimal load distribution and drainage, making it ideal for both residential and commercial applications such as road sub-bases, under concrete slabs, and as a structural fill. While the larger stones enhance stability and drainage, the smaller particles fill voids for a tightly compacted surface. This material is not typically used for decorative purposes, but its strength and versatility make it a preferred choice for heavy-duty structural support.
