Aggregate Base Course (1″, Commercial)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course, Commercial Grade, 1" Size Range
Aggregate Base Course in a 1" size range, commercial grade, is a foundational construction material composed of crushed stone, gravel, or recycled concrete. This material is engineered for strength and stability, making it ideal for supporting heavy loads in commercial applications. The 1" particle size offers an optimal balance between compaction and drainage, ensuring a solid base that resists shifting and settling over time.
The commercial attribute signifies that this aggregate meets rigorous standards for durability and load-bearing capacity, making it suitable for high-traffic areas such as roadways, parking lots, and industrial pads. Its coarse texture allows for excellent interlocking, which enhances structural integrity but may make it less suitable for surfaces requiring a smooth finish. While it compacts well to form a stable base, the larger size may not be ideal for thin overlays or decorative uses. Overall, this material is a reliable choice for demanding construction projects where strength and longevity are priorities.
