Aggregate Base Course (<6")
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course <6" Size Range
Aggregate Base Course in a <6" size range is a foundational construction material composed of crushed stone, gravel, or recycled concrete. This material is produced by mechanically crushing and screening raw aggregates to achieve a mix of particle sizes, with none exceeding 6 inches in diameter.
The broad size range allows for excellent compaction and load distribution, making it ideal for use as a stable sub-base beneath roads, driveways, parking lots, and building foundations. Its larger particles interlock for structural strength, while smaller fines fill gaps to minimize settling and movement. This combination ensures durability and long-term performance in both residential and commercial applications. While its coarse texture provides superior support, it may be less suitable for decorative or surface applications where a smoother finish is desired.
