Aggregate Base Course in #200 to 1" Size Range

Aggregate Base Course in a #200 to 1" size range is a well-graded blend of crushed stone, gravel, and fines. This material is engineered to provide a stable, compactable foundation for a variety of construction projects. The mix includes particles as fine as #200 sieve (very fine dust) up to 1-inch stones, ensuring excellent interlock and load distribution.

The wide size range is crucial for optimal compaction and strength. Finer particles fill the voids between larger stones, reducing settlement and creating a dense, stable base. This makes it ideal for use under roads, driveways, parking lots, patios, and concrete slabs in both residential and commercial settings. The main advantage of this gradation is its ability to compact tightly, minimizing movement and providing long-lasting support. However, because of the fines content, it is less permeable than open-graded aggregates, so it is not recommended for drainage layers.
