Aggregate Base Course, Vtdot, 1.5" Size Range

Aggregate Base Course in a 1.5" size range with the Vtdot specification is a high-quality blend of crushed stone and fines, engineered to meet the rigorous standards set by the Virginia Department of Transportation. This material is produced by mechanically crushing and screening quarried rock, resulting in a durable, angular aggregate that compacts well and provides a stable foundation.

The 1.5" size range offers excellent load-bearing capacity and interlocking properties, making it ideal for use as a sub-base in road construction, parking lots, and heavy-duty driveways. The Vtdot attribute ensures consistent gradation and performance, reducing the risk of settling or shifting over time. While its coarser size may make it less suitable for decorative or top-layer applications, it excels in structural support and drainage, making it a preferred choice for both residential and commercial infrastructure projects.
