Aggregate Base Course (Class 2 (3/4″)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course, Class 2 (3/4")
Aggregate Base Course in a Class 2, 3/4" size range is a well-graded blend of crushed stone, gravel, and fines engineered for use as a stable foundation layer in construction projects. This material is typically produced by crushing and screening quarried rock to meet strict specifications for size and composition, ensuring consistent performance and compaction.
The 3/4" size range offers an optimal balance between load-bearing capacity and compaction, making it ideal for supporting roadways, driveways, parking lots, and concrete slabs. Its well-graded nature allows for excellent interlock and minimal voids, which enhances stability and reduces the risk of settling over time. Commonly used in both residential and commercial applications, Aggregate Base Course is valued for its durability, ease of installation, and reliable drainage properties. While it compacts well to form a solid base, the presence of fines means it may generate some dust during installation, but this also helps bind the material for a firm, long-lasting foundation.
