Aggregate Base Course (1.5″ Minus, Crusher Run, Coarse)
Product Specifications
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course - Crusher Run, Coarse, 1.5" Minus
Aggregate Base Course with a crusher run, coarse texture in a 1.5" minus size range is a foundational construction material made from crushed stone and stone dust. The "crusher run" attribute means the material includes a blend of larger angular stones and fine particles, all passing through a 1.5-inch screen. This combination ensures excellent compaction and stability, making it ideal for load-bearing applications.
The 1.5" minus size allows for a dense, interlocking structure that resists shifting and settling, while the coarse nature provides superior drainage compared to finer aggregates. This material is commonly used as a sub-base for roads, driveways, parking lots, and patios, as well as under concrete slabs and pavers. Its ability to compact tightly reduces voids and helps prevent future surface movement. While its coarse texture may not be suitable for decorative or top-layer applications, it excels in structural support and long-term durability for both residential and commercial projects.
