Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course in Class 5 Size Range
Aggregate Base Course in a Class 5 size range is a well-graded blend of crushed stone, gravel, and sand, engineered to provide a stable foundation for roadways, driveways, and building pads. This material is produced by crushing and screening quarried rock to meet strict specifications, ensuring a mix of particle sizes that compact tightly and resist shifting.
The Class 5 designation refers to a specific gradation that balances coarse and fine particles, optimizing compaction and load-bearing capacity. This makes it ideal for use as a sub-base beneath asphalt or concrete surfaces, as well as for gravel driveways, parking areas, and pathways. Its excellent compaction properties help prevent settling and rutting, while the mix of fines and larger particles ensures stability and drainage. While not typically used as a decorative surface, Class 5 Aggregate Base Course is valued for its durability, cost-effectiveness, and reliable performance in both residential and commercial construction projects.
