3" Minus Crushed Aggregate

3" Minus crushed aggregate is a coarse, wide-graded base material that compacts into a dense, stable foundation — perfect for base layers, patios, and walkways.

3" Minus Crushed Aggregate is a versatile, wide-graded crushed stone blend ranging from 3-inch angular pieces down to fine particles. This broad range of sizing allows the material to compact tightly, with smaller particles filling the voids between larger ones to create a dense, solid mass that resists shifting and settling over time.

Its strength and compactability make 3" Minus a dependable choice for establishing base layers beneath a variety of surfaces. Whether you're preparing the ground for a patio, a walkway, or a structural base, 3" Minus provides the stable, load-bearing foundation your project needs to hold up over the long term.

Common Uses: Base layers, patios & walkways.
