Aggregate Base Course in a 3/4" Minus Size Range

Aggregate Base Course in a 3/4" minus size range is a versatile construction material composed of crushed stone, gravel, or recycled concrete, with particles ranging from 3/4 inch down to fine dust. The "minus" designation means the mix includes both larger aggregate and smaller fines, which fill gaps and create a dense, compactable base.

This specific size and gradation make it ideal for forming a stable foundation beneath roads, driveways, patios, sidewalks, and parking lots. The fines help the material compact tightly, reducing voids and providing excellent load-bearing capacity, while the larger particles add structural strength. Its compactability is a major advantage for both residential and commercial projects, though it may not be suitable where high drainage is required. Overall, 3/4" minus Aggregate Base Course is a reliable choice for any project needing a strong, stable, and long-lasting base layer.
