Aggregate Base Course in a 3/8” Minus Size Range
Aggregate Base Course in a 3/8" minus size range is a compactable blend of crushed stone, gravel, and fines. The "minus" designation means that the material contains particles up to 3/8" in diameter, along with smaller particles and dust. This gradation allows the aggregate to compact tightly, creating a stable and durable base layer.
The 3/8" minus size is ideal for projects requiring a smooth, solid foundation with minimal voids. It is commonly used under concrete slabs, pavers, and asphalt in both residential and commercial settings. Its excellent compaction properties make it a top choice for pathways, patios, and driveways where a firm, even surface is essential. While the fine particles enhance stability, they can also reduce drainage compared to coarser aggregates, so it's best used where water runoff is controlled. Overall, this material offers reliable performance for foundational applications.Applications & Uses
