Aggregate Base Course in a 2" Size Range

Aggregate Base Course in a 2" size range is a foundational construction material composed of crushed stone, gravel, or recycled concrete. The 2" particle size provides a robust, stable base layer that is essential for supporting heavy loads and distributing weight evenly across surfaces.

The larger 2" aggregate size enhances load-bearing capacity and promotes excellent drainage, making it ideal for use beneath roadways, parking lots, driveways, and concrete slabs. This size is particularly effective in preventing shifting and settling, ensuring long-term structural integrity. While its coarse texture makes it less suitable for surface applications, it excels as a sub-base where compaction and stability are critical. Its primary advantage is its ability to create a strong, durable foundation for both residential and commercial projects.
