Base
Base Aggregate is a graded material typically sized at 1-1/2" and smaller, containing a blend of coarse stone and fines. This mixture allows the material to compact tightly and create a stable foundation layer. Common types include granular subbase, pit run, MS backfill, and road base. It’s used for building pads, driveways, roads, parking areas, and anywhere a strong, load-bearing base is needed before adding asphalt, concrete, or other surface materials.
Common Sizes
1-1/2" and Smaller
Base aggregate is produced in graded sizes to compact densely and lock together. The designation 1-1/2" and smaller means the top size is about 1.5 inches with a full range of fines down to dust. This blend fills voids, improves stability, and creates a durable foundation for roads, driveways, building pads, and other load-bearing surfaces.
Common Applications
Foundations for Highways and Structures
Creates a dense, load-bearing base that improves long-term stability.
Road Shoulder Stabilization
Reinforces shoulder edges to prevent erosion and rutting.
Unpaved Road Stabilization
Reduces washboarding and improves compaction on gravel roadways.
Driveways
Provides a smooth, compact base layer ready for asphalt or gravel surfacing.
Engineered Backfill
Fills and stabilizes structural areas where compaction and strength matter.
Landscaping Projects
Creates a firm and level base for hardscapes, retaining walls, and site grading.
