Aggregate Base Course, Commercial, Crusher Run, 1.25" Minus

Aggregate Base Course in a 1.25" minus size with a commercial, crusher run attribute is a foundational construction material composed of crushed stone and stone dust. Produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks, this material features a blend of angular particles and fines, ensuring excellent compaction and stability.

The 1.25" minus size means all particles are 1.25 inches or smaller, allowing the mix of larger stones and fine particles to lock together tightly. The crusher run attribute further enhances compaction, making it ideal for load-bearing applications. This combination is commonly used in road base layers, parking lots, driveways, and under concrete slabs, providing a stable, durable foundation that resists shifting and settling.

Pros include superior load distribution, effective drainage, and reduced risk of rutting. However, the presence of fines can make it less permeable than clean stone, which may not be ideal for areas requiring maximum drainage. Overall, this material is a reliable choice for both residential and commercial base construction projects.
