Aggregate Base Course (1/2″)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base in a 1/2" Size Range
Aggregate base in a 1/2" size range is a versatile construction material composed of crushed stone, gravel, or recycled concrete. This material is engineered to provide a stable foundation for a variety of construction projects, ensuring long-lasting support and load distribution.
The 1/2" size offers an optimal balance between compaction and drainage. Its smaller particle size allows for excellent compaction, creating a dense, stable base that resists shifting and settling. This makes it ideal for use under driveways, walkways, patios, and roadways, as well as beneath concrete slabs and pavers. The fine gradation also helps minimize voids, reducing the risk of water infiltration and frost heave.
Commonly used in both residential and commercial applications, 1/2" aggregate base is valued for its ease of installation and reliable performance. While its smaller size may not provide as much drainage as coarser aggregates, it excels in situations where a firm, compacted base is essential.
