Aggregate Base Course (Crushed)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Aggregate Base Course
Crushed Aggregate Base Course is a foundational construction material made by mechanically crushing larger rocks into angular fragments. The "crushed" attribute ensures the particles have sharp, irregular edges, which interlock tightly when compacted. This interlocking action provides superior load-bearing strength and stability compared to rounded or uncrushed aggregates.
Crushed Aggregate Base Course is commonly used as a sub-base or base layer beneath roads, driveways, parking lots, and concrete slabs. Its excellent compaction properties make it ideal for supporting heavy loads and preventing shifting or settling over time. The angular nature of the material also promotes effective drainage, reducing the risk of water pooling and frost heave. While it may be less decorative than other aggregates, its performance and reliability make it a top choice for both residential and commercial construction projects.
