Aggregate Base Course (2″ Minus, Crusher Run)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course - Crusher Run, 2" Minus
Aggregate Base Course with a Crusher Run attribute in a 2" minus size range is a foundational construction material composed of crushed stone and stone dust. The "crusher run" process blends various stone sizes, ensuring that particles range from 2 inches down to fine dust. This gradation allows the material to compact tightly, creating a stable and durable base layer.
The 2" minus size is ideal for projects requiring substantial load-bearing capacity and excellent compaction. The mix of larger stones and fines locks together under pressure, minimizing voids and providing a solid foundation. Common applications include road and driveway bases, parking lots, walkways, and under concrete slabs or pavers. While its excellent compaction and stability are major advantages, the presence of fines means it may not drain as freely as more open-graded aggregates, making it less suitable for drainage layers. Overall, this material is valued for its strength, versatility, and cost-effectiveness in both residential and commercial construction.
