Recycled, Non-Spec Aggregate Base Course

Recycled, non-spec aggregate base course is a versatile construction material produced by crushing and processing reclaimed concrete, asphalt, or other aggregates. Unlike standard base course materials that adhere to strict gradation and quality specifications, this non-spec variety offers a more flexible and cost-effective solution for foundational layers.

The recycled attribute makes this base course an environmentally friendly choice, reducing landfill waste and conserving natural resources. Its non-spec nature means particle sizes and composition may vary, which can be advantageous for temporary roads, construction site access, or fill projects where precise gradation is not critical. Common applications include sub-base layers for driveways, parking lots, and roadways, as well as general backfill and site stabilization. While it may not compact as uniformly as spec-graded materials, its affordability and sustainability make it a popular option for both residential and commercial projects where performance requirements are less stringent.
