Aggregate Base Course, Dust Free Ballast, 1.5" Size

Aggregate Base Course in a 1.5" size with dust-free, ballast-grade properties is a high-quality construction material engineered for stability and cleanliness. Produced by crushing and screening durable stone, this aggregate is carefully processed to remove fine particles, resulting in a dust-free product that minimizes airborne debris and mess on site.

The 1.5" size offers excellent load-bearing capacity and interlocking strength, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications where stability is critical. The dust-free attribute ensures cleaner work environments and reduces maintenance, while the ballast quality provides superior drainage and resistance to shifting. Common uses include road and highway subbases, railway ballast, parking lots, and large-scale commercial foundations. While its larger size may make it less suitable for precise compaction in thin layers, it excels in projects requiring robust support and long-term durability.
