Aggregate Base Course (2″ Minus)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course in a 2" Minus Size Range
Aggregate Base Course in a 2" minus size range is a foundational construction material composed of crushed stone, gravel, or recycled concrete, with particles ranging from 2 inches down to fine dust. The "minus" designation means the mix includes all sizes up to 2 inches, allowing for excellent compaction and stability.
This size and gradation make it ideal for use as a sub-base beneath roads, driveways, parking lots, and concrete slabs. The blend of larger and smaller particles ensures the material locks together tightly, providing a stable, load-bearing surface that resists shifting and settling. While its excellent compaction properties make it less suitable for drainage applications, it is highly valued for structural support in both residential and commercial projects.
