Product Specifications
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course, Class 2 (#200 to 3/4")
Aggregate Base Course in a Class 2 specification, with a size range from #200 fines up to 3/4", is a well-graded blend of crushed stone, gravel, and sand. This material is engineered to provide optimal compaction and stability, making it a foundational layer in roadways, driveways, and structural pads. The inclusion of both coarse and fine particles ensures excellent load-bearing capacity and minimizes voids, which helps prevent shifting and settling over time.
The Class 2 designation means the aggregate meets strict gradation and quality standards, ensuring consistent performance and durability. The wide size range-from fine particles (#200 sieve) to 3/4" rock-allows for tight compaction, reducing the risk of rutting and washouts. Common applications include use as a subbase for asphalt or concrete pavements, parking lots, and walkways, as well as under pavers in residential landscaping. While its high compaction makes it less suitable for drainage layers, it excels in providing a stable, long-lasting base for a variety of construction projects.
