Aggregate Base Course (3/4″, Prewet)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course, Prewet, 3/4" Size
Aggregate Base Course in a 3/4" size range with a prewet attribute is a foundational construction material composed of crushed stone, gravel, and fines. The prewet process involves moistening the aggregate before delivery, which helps control dust and improves compaction during installation.
The 3/4" size offers an optimal balance between load-bearing capacity and compaction, making it ideal for creating stable sub-bases in roadways, driveways, parking lots, and under concrete slabs. Prewetting the material reduces airborne dust, making it safer and cleaner to work with, especially in residential areas or enclosed job sites. This combination ensures excellent stability and drainage while minimizing the risk of shifting or settling over time. While prewet aggregate may be heavier to handle, its improved workability and reduced dust make it a preferred choice for both DIY and professional projects.
