Aggregate Base Course (Subbase, Granular)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course - Granular Subbase
Aggregate Base Course with a granular subbase attribute is a foundational construction material composed of crushed stone, gravel, or recycled concrete. This material is engineered to provide a stable, load-bearing layer beneath roads, driveways, parking lots, and building foundations. Its granular nature means the particles are unbound and free-draining, which helps prevent water accumulation and frost heave.
The granular subbase is valued for its excellent compaction properties and ability to distribute loads evenly, making it ideal for both residential and commercial projects requiring a strong, stable base. Common uses include under asphalt or concrete pavements, patios, and walkways. While its unbound structure offers superior drainage and ease of installation, it may require proper edge restraints to prevent lateral movement. Overall, granular Aggregate Base Course is a reliable choice for long-lasting, well-drained subbase layers.
