Aggregate Base Course, Screened, 1" Minus

Aggregate Base Course in a 1" minus size range, screened for consistency, is a foundational construction material composed of crushed stone, gravel, or recycled concrete. The "screened" attribute ensures that the material is free from oversized particles and debris, resulting in a uniform blend where the largest pieces are no bigger than 1 inch, with finer particles filling the gaps.

This specific size and screening process provide excellent compaction and load-bearing properties, making it ideal for use as a stable sub-base beneath roads, driveways, parking lots, and patios. The fines within the mix help lock the aggregate together, reducing voids and creating a solid, stable surface. While its compactability is a major advantage, the presence of fines means it is less suitable for drainage applications compared to coarser, washed aggregates. Overall, screened 1" minus Aggregate Base Course is valued for its strength, stability, and versatility in both residential and commercial construction projects.
