Aggregate Base Course - Crusher Run, Commercial, 5/8" Minus

Aggregate Base Course in a 5/8" minus size with a crusher run, commercial attribute is a versatile construction material composed of crushed stone blended with fines. The "crusher run" process ensures that the aggregate contains a mix of stone sizes down to fine particles, which enhances compaction and stability. The 5/8" minus size means the largest pieces are 5/8 inch, with smaller particles filling the gaps for a dense, interlocking base.

This material is ideal for creating strong, stable foundations in both residential and commercial projects. Common uses include sub-bases for driveways, walkways, patios, parking lots, and roadways. The fine content allows for excellent compaction, reducing voids and providing a solid base that resists shifting and settling. While its dense nature makes it less suitable for drainage applications, it excels where a firm, load-bearing surface is required. Easy to work with and cost-effective, 5/8" minus crusher run is a reliable choice for foundational construction needs.
