Aggregate Base Course (1″ Minus)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course in a 1" Minus Size Range
Aggregate Base Course in a 1" minus size range is a versatile construction material composed of crushed stone, gravel, or recycled concrete, with particles ranging from 1 inch down to fine dust. This gradation ensures excellent compaction and stability, making it a foundational layer in many construction projects.
The 1" minus specification means the material contains a mix of larger aggregate pieces and smaller fines, which fill voids and lock the base together. This combination provides a solid, load-bearing surface that resists shifting and settling. Commonly used for road bases, driveways, parking lots, and under concrete slabs, it is valued for its strength and ability to create a smooth, even surface. While its high compaction makes it less suitable for drainage applications, it excels where a stable, durable base is required.
