Aggregate Base Course (1.5″, Vt Dot)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course, Vt Dot, 1.5" Size Range
Aggregate Base Course with the Vt Dot specification in a 1.5" size range is a high-quality, crushed stone material engineered for use as a stable foundation layer in roadways, parking lots, and other heavy-duty surfaces. Produced by mechanically crushing and screening quarried rock, this material meets strict Vermont Department of Transportation (Vt Dot) standards, ensuring consistent gradation and performance.
The 1.5" size range provides excellent load-bearing capacity and compaction, making it ideal for supporting asphalt or concrete pavements. Its angular shape interlocks well, reducing movement and settling over time, while the Vt Dot attribute guarantees minimal fines and optimal drainage. Common applications include road base, driveways, commercial parking areas, and under slab foundations. Pros include superior stability, reliable drainage, and compliance with state specifications; however, the larger size may make it less suitable for thin or decorative surfaces.
