Aggregate Base Course in #1 Minus Size
Aggregate Base Course in a #1 minus size is a versatile construction material composed of crushed stone and fines, with all particles measuring up to approximately 1 inch in diameter. The "minus" designation means the mix includes both larger aggregate and smaller particles, resulting in a well-graded blend that compacts tightly.
This specific size range is ideal for creating a stable, load-bearing foundation layer beneath roads, driveways, parking lots, and concrete slabs. The inclusion of fines helps the material lock together when compacted, reducing voids and providing excellent structural support. While its compactability makes it less suitable for drainage applications, it excels in situations where a firm, stable base is required. Both residential and commercial projects benefit from its durability and cost-effectiveness, making it a go-to choice for sub-base preparation.Applications & Uses
