Aggregate Base Course (3″ Minus)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course in a 3" Minus Size Range
Aggregate Base Course in a 3" minus size range is a foundational construction material composed of crushed stone, gravel, or recycled concrete, with particles ranging from 3 inches down to fine dust. The "minus" designation means the mix includes both larger aggregate and smaller fines, which fill gaps and help the material compact tightly.
This size and gradation make 3" minus Aggregate Base Course ideal for heavy-duty load-bearing applications, such as road sub-bases, parking lots, and large driveways. The blend of coarse and fine particles ensures excellent compaction and stability, reducing the risk of settling or shifting over time. While its larger size offers superior strength and drainage, it may be less suitable for finished surfaces or areas requiring a smooth top layer. Overall, this material is valued for its durability, load distribution, and ability to create a solid foundation for both residential and commercial projects.
