Aggregate Base Course (1.5″ To 2″ Minus)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course, 1.5" to 2" Minus
Aggregate Base Course in a 1.5" to 2" minus size range is a foundational construction material composed of crushed stone, gravel, and fines. The "minus" designation means the mix contains particles from the maximum size down to fine dust, resulting from mechanical crushing and screening processes.
This specific size range offers excellent compaction and load-bearing properties, making it ideal for use as a stable sub-base beneath roads, driveways, parking lots, and concrete slabs. The blend of larger stones with fines ensures the material locks together tightly, reducing voids and providing a solid, stable surface that resists shifting and settling. While its coarse texture is not suitable for decorative or surface applications, it excels in structural support and drainage control. This makes it a preferred choice for both residential and commercial projects requiring a durable, long-lasting base layer.
