Aggregate Base Course (3″ Minus, Crusher Run)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course - Crusher Run, 3" Minus
Aggregate Base Course with a Crusher Run attribute in a 3" minus size range is a foundational construction material composed of crushed stone, gravel, and fines. The "crusher run" designation means the material includes a mix of stone sizes up to 3 inches, along with smaller particles and stone dust, resulting from the crushing process. This blend creates a dense, well-graded aggregate that compacts tightly, forming a stable base layer.
The 3" minus size allows for excellent load-bearing capacity and effective interlocking of particles, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications. Common uses include road and driveway bases, parking lots, and under concrete slabs or pavers in both residential and commercial projects. The presence of fines helps the material bind together, reducing voids and improving stability, though it may be less suitable where maximum drainage is required. Overall, this product is valued for its strength, compaction properties, and versatility as a reliable sub-base material.
