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 and stone dust. The "crusher run" process blends various stone sizes, ensuring that particles range from 3 inches down to fine dust. This gradation creates a dense, well-compacted base that locks together tightly, providing excellent load-bearing capacity and stability.
The 3" minus size is ideal for heavy-duty applications where substantial support and compaction are required. It is commonly used as a sub-base for roads, driveways, parking lots, and building pads, as well as for large-scale commercial and industrial projects. The mix of coarse and fine particles allows for superior compaction, minimizing voids and reducing the risk of settling over time. While its rough texture and large size make it less suitable for decorative or surface applications, its strength and durability make it a top choice for foundational layers where long-term performance is critical.
