Aggregate Base Course in 10" to 12" Size Range

Aggregate Base Course in a 10" to 12" size range is a large, unbound mixture of crushed stone, gravel, or recycled materials designed for foundational support in heavy-duty construction. Produced by mechanically crushing and screening quarried rock, this material features substantial particle sizes that provide exceptional load-bearing capacity and stability.

The oversized 10" to 12" aggregate is ideal for projects requiring deep structural support, such as road sub-bases, large-scale commercial site preparation, and erosion control. Its large size allows for excellent drainage and prevents shifting under heavy loads, making it suitable for high-traffic areas and infrastructure projects. However, due to its coarse nature, it is not suitable for surface applications or areas requiring compaction to a smooth finish. This material is best used as a foundational layer beneath finer aggregates or pavement.
