Aggregate Base Course (1.5″)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course in a 1.5" Size Range
Aggregate Base Course in a 1.5" size range is a foundational construction material composed of crushed stone, gravel, or recycled concrete. This material is engineered to provide a stable, load-bearing layer beneath roads, driveways, parking lots, and building pads. The 1.5" size offers a balance between compaction and drainage, making it ideal for supporting heavy loads while allowing water to pass through, reducing the risk of pooling and frost heave.
The larger 1.5" aggregate particles interlock effectively, creating a strong, durable base that resists shifting and settling over time. This size is particularly well-suited for high-traffic areas and heavy-duty applications, such as commercial roadways, industrial yards, and large-scale residential projects. While the coarser texture may make it less suitable for top layers or decorative use, its excellent load distribution and drainage properties make it a preferred choice for foundational support in both residential and commercial construction.
