3 Inch Minus Base (75 mm)
$2.00
3 inch minus base (75 mm) is a heavy-duty crushed aggregate made from blasted quarried rock. This material ranges in size from pieces up to approximately 3 inches down to fine quarry dust, creating a dense, tightly binding mix. It is unwashed and uncleaned, allowing the full blend of rock and fines to work together for maximum strength and stability. Compared to larger minus materials, 3 inch minus base is easier to place and level while still providing excellent load-bearing performance. Key Details & Pricing
