Aggregate Base Course in Type A (3/4") Size Range

Aggregate Base Course in a Type A (3/4") size range is a well-graded blend of crushed stone and fines, engineered to provide a stable foundation for a variety of construction projects. Produced by mechanically crushing and screening quarried rock, this material offers a consistent particle size distribution, with the largest pieces measuring up to 3/4 inch.

The 3/4" size is ideal for achieving optimal compaction and load-bearing capacity, making it a preferred choice for road bases, driveways, parking lots, and under concrete slabs. Its angular shape interlocks tightly, reducing voids and enhancing stability, while the fines fill gaps for a dense, durable surface. This size is easy to work with and compacts well, though it may require proper moisture control during installation to achieve maximum strength. Aggregate Base Course Type A (3/4") is valued for its versatility, reliability, and performance in both residential and commercial applications.
