Aggregate Base Course (5/8″ To 2.5″, Ballast)

Aggregate Base Course Ballast (5/8” to 2.5”)

Aggregate Base Course with a ballast attribute in the 5/8" to 2.5" size range is a durable, coarse blend of crushed stone and gravel. This material is produced by mechanically crushing and screening quarried rock, resulting in angular particles that interlock for superior stability.




The larger size range of 5/8" to 2.5" makes this ballast ideal for applications requiring robust load-bearing capacity and excellent drainage. Its angular shape ensures minimal shifting under heavy loads, making it a preferred choice for railway ballast, road base layers, and large-scale commercial foundations. In residential projects, it is often used beneath driveways, parking areas, and retaining walls where strong support and drainage are critical. While its coarse texture provides structural integrity, it is less suitable for areas needing a smooth or compacted finish.
