Aggregate Base Course - 1" Minus Limestone Crusher Run

Aggregate Base Course in a 1" minus size, made from limestone crusher run, is a foundational construction material prized for its strength and versatility. Produced by mechanically crushing limestone, this material contains a mix of stone fragments up to 1 inch in size, along with fine particles. The "crusher run" attribute means the aggregate includes both larger stones and fines, which together create a dense, well-graded blend.

The 1" minus size ensures excellent compaction, making it ideal for creating stable bases beneath roads, driveways, parking lots, patios, and walkways. The limestone composition offers durability and resistance to weathering, while the fines fill voids between larger stones, locking the material in place and minimizing shifting. This combination provides superior load-bearing capacity and effective drainage, though it may be less decorative than clean stone. Aggregate Base Course is a top choice for both residential and commercial projects where a reliable, compactable base is essential.
