Aggregate Base Course (3″ Minus, Screened)

Aggregate Base Course, Screened, 3” Minus

Aggregate Base Course in a 3" minus size range, screened for consistency, is a foundational construction material composed of crushed stone, gravel, and fines. The "3" minus" designation means the largest particles are up to 3 inches in diameter, with smaller particles and fines included. Screening ensures a more uniform blend, reducing oversized debris and promoting better compaction.




This size and attribute combination is ideal for creating stable, load-bearing layers beneath roads, driveways, parking lots, and building pads. The inclusion of fines allows the material to compact tightly, providing excellent support and minimizing voids, while the larger aggregate pieces add strength. Screened 3" minus base course is valued for its durability and ability to withstand heavy traffic, though its coarse texture makes it less suitable for surface applications or areas requiring a smooth finish. It is a reliable choice for both residential and commercial projects where a robust, well-compacted base is essential.
