Aggregate Base Course Course, VDOT Fine, 2" Size

Aggregate Base Course Course with a VDOT fine attribute in a 2" size range is a high-quality, state-approved blend of crushed stone and fines, engineered for optimal compaction and stability. The "VDOT" designation ensures the material meets Virginia Department of Transportation standards, making it suitable for demanding infrastructure and commercial projects. The "fine" attribute indicates a higher proportion of smaller particles mixed with the 2" stone, which enhances binding and creates a dense, stable base.

This specific combination is ideal for use as a foundational layer beneath roads, parking lots, driveways, and sidewalks, where strength and load-bearing capacity are critical. The 2" size provides excellent structural support, while the fines fill voids for superior compaction and reduced movement over time. While the fine content improves stability and minimizes settling, it may reduce drainage compared to coarser blends. Overall, this material is favored for its reliability in both residential and commercial base applications.
