Aggregate Base Course (3″, Vdot, Dense)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course, VDOT Dense, 3" Size Range
Aggregate Base Course in a 3" size range with a VDOT dense specification is a foundational construction material engineered for strength and stability. This material is produced by crushing and screening high-quality stone to meet Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) standards, ensuring a well-graded mix of stone and fines. The "dense" attribute means the aggregate contains a balanced blend of coarse and fine particles, which allows for excellent compaction and load-bearing capacity.
The 3" size range is ideal for heavy-duty base layers in roadways, parking lots, and large commercial or industrial projects, where maximum stability and support are required. Its dense composition minimizes voids, reducing the risk of settling and providing a solid foundation for asphalt or concrete surfaces. While the larger size makes it less suitable for fine grading or decorative applications, it excels in structural performance, drainage control, and long-term durability. This makes it a preferred choice for both residential driveways and major infrastructure projects where a robust, stable base is essential.
