Aggregate Base Course, Type 1 - Apache Rose

Aggregate Base Course in a Type 1 size range, featuring the distinctive Apache Rose color, is a foundational construction material composed of crushed stone and fines. This blend is engineered to provide optimal compaction and load-bearing strength, making it a reliable choice for sub-base layers in roadways, driveways, and parking lots.

The Type 1 size range ensures a well-graded mix, which enhances stability and minimizes voids, resulting in a dense, durable base that resists shifting and settling. The Apache Rose hue adds a subtle, decorative touch, making it suitable for projects where aesthetics are valued alongside performance. Common applications include residential driveways, commercial parking areas, walkways, and underlayment for patios or pavers. Its excellent compaction properties make it easy to work with, though the presence of fines means it may generate some dust during installation.
