Bedding (Concrete)
Applications & Uses
Bedding Aggregate for Concrete Applications
Bedding aggregate with a concrete attribute is a specialized material designed to provide a stable, supportive base for concrete installations. Typically composed of crushed stone or gravel, this bedding material is engineered to offer optimal compaction and load distribution, ensuring a solid foundation for concrete slabs, pavers, and other hardscape elements.
The concrete-specific attribute means this bedding aggregate is clean and free of organic material, which helps prevent settling and ensures strong bonding with poured concrete. Its gradation allows for excellent drainage while maintaining stability, making it ideal for use beneath driveways, patios, sidewalks, and commercial flooring. This material is easy to work with, resists shifting, and helps prevent cracking in overlying concrete. While it may not be as decorative as some alternatives, its performance and reliability make it a top choice for both residential and commercial construction projects.
