Aggregate Base Course (1/4″ To 3/4″, Vdot)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course, VDOT, 1/4" to 3/4"
Aggregate Base Course with VDOT specification in a 1/4" to 3/4" size range is a high-quality blend of crushed stone and fines, engineered to meet Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) standards. This material is produced by mechanically crushing and screening quarried rock, resulting in a well-graded mix that compacts tightly and provides a stable foundation.
The 1/4" to 3/4" size range ensures excellent compaction and load-bearing capacity, making it ideal for use as a sub-base in roadways, driveways, parking lots, and under concrete slabs. The VDOT attribute guarantees consistent quality and performance, which is crucial for both residential and commercial projects requiring reliable structural support. While its angular particles lock together for stability, the presence of fines aids in compaction but may reduce drainage compared to more open-graded aggregates. Overall, this material is valued for its strength, durability, and compliance with strict construction standards.
