Aggregate Base Course Ballast (1.5” to 2”)
Aggregate Base Course with a ballast attribute in the 1.5" to 2" size range is a coarse, durable construction material composed of crushed stone or gravel. This material is produced by mechanically crushing and screening quarried rock to achieve the specified size and angularity, ensuring stability and strength.
The larger 1.5" to 2" size and ballast attribute make this aggregate ideal for applications requiring superior load-bearing capacity and drainage. Its substantial particle size prevents compaction, allowing water to flow freely-making it especially suitable for railroad ballast, sub-base layers in heavy-duty roads, and large-scale drainage projects. In residential and commercial settings, it is often used beneath concrete slabs, foundations, and as a stabilizing layer for driveways and parking lots. While its size offers excellent structural support and drainage, it is less suitable for surfaces requiring a smooth finish or easy compaction.Applications & Uses
