Aggregate Base Course (#200 To 1″, Type 2)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course Type 2 (#200 to 1" Size Range)
Aggregate Base Course Type 2 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 inclusion of particles as fine as #200 mesh, combined with larger stones up to 1", ensures excellent compaction and load-bearing capacity.
The specific size range allows the fines to fill voids between larger aggregates, resulting in a dense, stable base that resists shifting and settling. Type 2 aggregate base is commonly used under roadways, parking lots, driveways, and concrete slabs, as well as for pathways and structural pads. Its superior compaction properties make it ideal for both residential and commercial applications where a strong, long-lasting base is essential. While the high fines content improves stability, it may reduce drainage compared to more open-graded materials, so it is best used where moisture control is managed.
