Manufactured Aggregate Base Course

Manufactured Aggregate Base Course is a high-quality construction material produced by mechanically crushing and screening quarried rock to create a consistent blend of stone fragments and fines. Unlike natural or unprocessed aggregates, the manufactured attribute ensures uniform particle size distribution and reliable compaction characteristics, making it ideal for foundational layers.

This material is commonly used as a stable base for roads, driveways, parking lots, and building pads in both residential and commercial projects. Its engineered composition provides excellent load-bearing capacity and resists shifting or settling over time. The manufactured nature of this base course means fewer voids and better interlock between particles, resulting in superior stability and reduced risk of rutting. While it may be less decorative than natural stone, its performance and reliability make it a preferred choice for structural applications where strength and durability are critical.
