Aggregate Base Course (Dense Grade)

Aggregate Base Course - Dense Grade

Aggregate Base Course with a dense grade is a foundational construction material composed of crushed stone, gravel, and fines. The dense grade attribute means the mix contains a well-graded blend of particle sizes, from larger stones down to fine particles, resulting in minimal void spaces and excellent compaction properties.




This dense composition is crucial for creating a stable, load-bearing base layer beneath roads, driveways, parking lots, and concrete slabs. The tightly packed structure resists shifting and settling, providing long-term durability and support for overlying surfaces. While dense grade aggregate base is less permeable-making it less suitable for drainage layers-it excels in applications where strength and stability are priorities. Its ability to compact firmly also helps prevent rutting and potholes, making it a preferred choice for both residential and commercial projects.
