Aggregate Base Course (Graded)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course - Graded
Aggregate Base Course with a graded attribute is a foundational construction material composed of a well-blended mix of crushed stone, gravel, and fines. The "graded" designation means the material contains a range of particle sizes, from larger stones down to fine particles, ensuring optimal compaction and stability.
The graded nature of this aggregate is crucial for creating a dense, load-bearing base that resists shifting and settling. This makes it ideal for use beneath roads, driveways, parking lots, and concrete slabs in both residential and commercial projects. Its excellent compaction properties provide a stable platform for subsequent layers, while the mix of sizes helps lock particles together, reducing voids and improving load distribution. While it offers superior support and drainage, the presence of fines means it may generate some dust during installation. Overall, graded Aggregate Base Course is a reliable choice for any project requiring a strong, stable foundation.
