Bedding (1″)
Applications & Uses
Bedding Aggregate in a 1" Size Range
Bedding aggregate in a 1" size range is a versatile construction material commonly used as a stable base layer for various projects. Produced by crushing and screening natural stone or gravel, this material features particles that are approximately 1 inch in diameter, providing a balance between stability and drainage.
The 1" size is ideal for creating a firm, supportive foundation while still allowing for adequate water flow, which helps prevent pooling and frost heave. This makes it especially suitable for bedding pipes, laying under concrete slabs, and as a base for pavers or retaining walls. Its larger particle size resists compaction, ensuring long-term stability but may require additional fine material for a smoother finish in certain applications. Overall, 1" bedding aggregate is valued for its strength, drainage properties, and reliability in both residential and commercial construction projects.
