Aggregate Base Course (Class 5 (#200 To 1″)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course in Class 5 (#200 to 1") Size Range
Aggregate Base Course in a Class 5 size range (#200 to 1") is a well-graded blend of crushed stone, sand, and fines. This material is engineered to provide a stable, compactable foundation for a variety of construction projects. The Class 5 designation means the aggregate includes particles from fine dust (#200 sieve) up to 1 inch in diameter, ensuring excellent compaction and load-bearing properties.
The wide size range allows the smaller particles to fill voids between larger stones, resulting in a dense, stable base that resists shifting and settling. This makes Class 5 Aggregate Base Course ideal for use under roads, driveways, parking lots, sidewalks, and patios. It is also commonly used as a sub-base for concrete and asphalt pavements. The main advantage of this material is its ability to compact tightly, providing long-lasting support and minimizing future maintenance. However, because it contains fines, it may not be suitable for drainage applications where water flow is required.
