Aggregate Base Course (3/8″ Minus, Crusher Run)
Product Specifications
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course - Crusher Run, 3/8" Minus
Aggregate Base Course with a Crusher Run attribute in a 3/8" minus size range is a compactable blend of crushed stone, gravel, and stone dust. Produced by mechanically crushing larger stones, this material contains a mix of particles from 3/8 inch down to fine dust, ensuring excellent compaction and stability.
The 3/8" minus sizing allows for tight packing, making it ideal for creating a solid, stable base layer beneath driveways, walkways, patios, and concrete slabs. The crusher run attribute means the material includes both angular stone and fines, which lock together to minimize shifting and settlement. This combination offers superior load-bearing capacity and effective drainage, though it may be less decorative and harder to spread evenly compared to larger, cleaner aggregates. Commonly used in both residential and commercial construction, this base course is valued for its durability, affordability, and reliable performance in foundational applications.
