Aggregate Base Course (Class 5 (#200 To 1″), Limestone)
Product Specifications
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course - Limestone, Class 5 (#200 to 1")
Aggregate Base Course made from limestone in a Class 5 size range (#200 to 1") is a versatile and durable construction material. This blend combines fine particles (as small as #200 sieve) with larger stones up to 1 inch, resulting in a well-graded mix that compacts tightly. The limestone attribute ensures excellent load-bearing capacity and long-term stability, as limestone is known for its strength and resistance to weathering.
The specific Class 5 gradation is ideal for creating a solid, stable base layer in both residential and commercial projects. It is commonly used under roads, driveways, parking lots, and concrete slabs, providing a reliable foundation that resists shifting and settling. The fine particles fill voids between larger stones, enhancing compaction and minimizing movement, while the limestone composition offers superior drainage and durability. This material is easy to work with, but its high compaction may make it less suitable for applications requiring rapid drainage. Overall, it is a top choice for foundational work where strength and longevity are priorities.
