Aggregate Base Course (1.25″, Dense)
Applications & Uses
Dense Aggregate Base Course in a 1.25" Size Range
Dense aggregate base course in a 1.25" 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 coarse and fine particles, allowing the material to lock together tightly when compacted.
The 1.25" size range offers a balance between stability and workability, making it ideal for supporting heavy loads while still being easy to spread and compact. This combination is commonly used in roadways, parking lots, driveways, and under concrete slabs, where a strong, stable base is essential. Dense aggregate base course is valued for its excellent compaction, reduced voids, and superior load distribution, though it may be less permeable than open-graded alternatives, making it less suitable for drainage layers.
