Aggregate Base Course, Modot, Type 1 (1" Minus)

Aggregate Base Course with the Modot specification in a Type 1 (1" minus) size range is a high-quality blend of crushed stone and fines engineered for optimal compaction and stability. The "1" minus" designation means the material contains particles up to 1 inch in diameter, along with smaller sizes and fines, ensuring a dense, interlocking structure when compacted.

This specific Modot-certified blend is commonly used as a foundational layer beneath roads, driveways, parking lots, and concrete slabs. The well-graded mix of coarse and fine particles provides excellent load-bearing capacity and minimizes shifting or settling over time. Its compactability makes it ideal for both residential and commercial applications where a stable, long-lasting base is essential. While the fines improve compaction, they may generate some dust during installation, but this is offset by the superior structural performance and durability.
