Aggregate Base Course (3/8″)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course in a 3/8" Size Range
Aggregate Base Course in a 3/8" size range is a compactable blend of crushed stone, gravel, and fines, engineered to provide a stable foundation for construction projects. The 3/8" particle size offers a balance between compaction and drainage, making it ideal for applications where a firm, supportive base is essential.
This specific size is particularly effective for creating smooth, even surfaces in smaller-scale projects such as walkways, patios, and residential driveways. Its fine gradation allows for excellent compaction, reducing the risk of settling or shifting over time. In commercial settings, 3/8" Aggregate Base Course is often used beneath concrete slabs, asphalt pavements, and pavers, ensuring long-lasting structural integrity. While its smaller size enhances compaction and finish, it may not provide as much drainage as coarser aggregates, so it is best suited for areas where water runoff is controlled.
