Aggregate Base Course (Screened, Unwashed)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course, Screened, Unwashed
Aggregate Base Course (ABC) is a foundational construction material composed of a blend of crushed stone, gravel, and fines. This screened, unwashed variant is processed to remove oversized particles, ensuring a consistent gradation, but it retains natural dust and fines due to the unwashed attribute.
The screened aspect guarantees reliable compaction and load-bearing capacity, making it ideal for use beneath roads, driveways, parking lots, and concrete slabs. The unwashed nature means the material contains more fines, which can enhance binding and stability when compacted, but may also generate more dust during installation. This makes it especially suitable for sub-base layers where maximum compaction is required, though it may not be ideal for applications where cleanliness or drainage is a priority. Both DIYers and contractors value this material for its affordability, ease of use, and structural reliability in a wide range of residential and commercial projects.
