Aggregate Base Course in a 3” Size Range
Aggregate Base Course in a 3" size range is a foundational construction material composed of crushed stone, gravel, or recycled concrete. This coarse aggregate is produced by mechanically crushing and screening larger rocks to achieve a consistent 3-inch particle size, making it ideal for heavy-duty structural support.
The larger 3" size provides excellent load-bearing capacity and superior drainage, which is crucial for stabilizing subgrades in roadways, parking lots, and large commercial or industrial projects. Its coarse texture allows for rapid water movement, reducing the risk of pooling and frost heave. While the large particle size makes it less suitable for fine grading or compacted surfaces, it excels as a stable base layer beneath asphalt, concrete, or pavers. This material is valued for its strength and durability, though it may require a finer top layer for smoother finishes in residential applications.Applications & Uses
