Aggregate Base Course (#200 To 1″, Granular)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course - Granular, #200 to 1"
Aggregate Base Course in a granular form with a size range from #200 (fine particles) up to 1" is a foundational construction material commonly used beneath roads, driveways, and concrete slabs. This material is produced by crushing and screening natural stone or gravel, resulting in a blend of coarse and fine particles.
The granular attribute means the material is free-draining and easy to work with, while the wide size range-from fine dust to 1" stones-ensures excellent compaction and stability. The fines fill voids between larger particles, creating a dense, load-bearing base that resists shifting and settling. This makes it ideal for both residential and commercial applications such as road sub-bases, parking lots, walkways, and patios. Pros include superior compaction, good drainage, and reliable support for overlying materials. However, the presence of fines can make it less suitable for areas requiring maximum drainage or where a purely decorative finish is desired.
