Aggregate Base Course (1″, Dense, Graded)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course, Dense Graded, 1" Size Range
Aggregate Base Course in a dense, graded 1" size range is a foundational construction material composed of crushed stone and fines. The dense grading means the mix contains a well-balanced blend of larger and smaller particles, allowing for excellent compaction and load-bearing capacity. The 1" maximum size ensures stability while still enabling the material to lock together tightly, minimizing voids and movement.
This material is commonly used as a sub-base for roads, driveways, parking lots, and building pads, providing a stable platform for asphalt or concrete surfaces. Its dense, graded nature makes it ideal for supporting heavy loads and resisting shifting or settling over time. While it compacts very well and offers superior strength, it is less permeable than open-graded aggregates, so it is not typically used where drainage is a primary concern. Overall, dense graded 1" Aggregate Base Course is a reliable choice for structural support in both residential and commercial projects.
