Aggregate Base Course (2″ To 3″)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course in a 2" to 3" Size Range
Aggregate Base Course in a 2" to 3" size range is a foundational construction material composed of crushed stone or gravel. This material is produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks into angular fragments, ensuring a stable and durable base layer for various construction projects.
The larger 2" to 3" size range provides excellent load-bearing capacity and superior drainage, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications. Its coarse texture allows for rapid water flow, reducing the risk of pooling and frost heave. This size is commonly used as a sub-base for roadways, parking lots, and large driveways, as well as under concrete slabs and foundations in both residential and commercial settings.
While the larger aggregate size offers strength and drainage, it is less suitable for areas requiring a smooth, compacted finish. It is best used where structural support and water management are priorities, rather than surface aesthetics or walkability.
