Aggregate Base Course (6″ To #200)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course in a 6" to #200 Size Range
Aggregate Base Course in a 6" to #200 size range is a versatile construction material composed of a blend of crushed stone, gravel, sand, and fines. This gradation means the material contains particles as large as 6 inches down to those passing through a #200 sieve (very fine particles), resulting in a well-graded mix that compacts tightly and provides excellent load-bearing capacity.
The wide size range is crucial for stability and compaction. Larger stones provide structural strength, while the smaller particles fill voids, reducing movement and increasing density. This makes Aggregate Base Course ideal for use as a foundational layer beneath roads, driveways, parking lots, and building pads in both residential and commercial projects. Its ability to compact firmly helps prevent settling and rutting, though the presence of fines means it may not drain as freely as more open-graded materials. Overall, this material is valued for its strength, durability, and reliable performance as a base layer.
