Aggregate Base Course (1.5″, Ballast)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course Ballast, 1.5" Size Range
Aggregate Base Course with a ballast attribute in a 1.5" size range is a durable, coarse crushed stone product engineered for foundational strength and stability. Produced by mechanically crushing and screening quarried rock, this material features angular edges that interlock for superior load-bearing capacity.
The 1.5" size is ideal for heavy-duty applications where robust support and excellent drainage are required. The larger, ballast-grade stones resist compaction, making them perfect for use as a sub-base beneath railways, highways, and large commercial pavements. In residential projects, this material is commonly used for driveways, parking pads, and as a stable base for retaining walls. Its coarse texture ensures rapid water runoff, reducing the risk of pooling and frost heave, though it may be less suitable for areas requiring a smooth, compacted finish. Overall, this aggregate base course offers reliable performance for demanding structural and drainage needs.
