Aggregate Base Course (1″ To 3″)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course in a 1" to 3" Size Range
Aggregate Base Course in a 1" to 3" size range is a foundational construction material composed of crushed stone, gravel, or recycled concrete. This material is engineered to provide a stable, load-bearing layer beneath roads, driveways, parking lots, and building pads. The larger size range of 1" to 3" ensures excellent compaction and interlocking, creating a strong base that resists shifting and settling over time.
The coarse gradation of this aggregate allows for superior drainage, reducing the risk of water accumulation and frost heave in paved surfaces. Its robust structure makes it ideal for heavy-duty commercial and residential applications, including road sub-bases, structural fill, and under slab support. While the larger stone size offers strength and drainage, it may be less suitable for areas requiring a smooth finish or tight compaction, such as top layers of walkways or patios. Overall, this aggregate base course is a reliable choice for projects demanding durability and long-term performance.
