Aggregate Base Course (4″)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course in a 4" Size Range
Aggregate Base Course in a 4" size range is a foundational construction material composed of crushed stone, gravel, or recycled concrete. This coarse aggregate is engineered to provide a stable, load-bearing layer beneath roads, driveways, parking lots, and building pads. The 4" size refers to the maximum particle diameter, making it significantly larger and more robust than standard base materials.
The larger 4" aggregate size offers excellent load distribution and drainage, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications where superior structural support is required. Its coarse texture allows for rapid water flow, reducing the risk of pooling and frost heave. However, due to its size, it is less suitable for areas requiring a smooth, compacted finish and may require a finer top layer for surface stability. Commonly used in road construction, industrial yards, and as a sub-base for large-scale paving projects, this material is valued for its strength and durability.
