Product Overview
#73 Dense Grade Base
Dense-graded limestone similar to #53, used where a slightly finer base layer is preferred. It compacts tightly and provides reliable support for driveways, access roads, and base applications. Performance depends on compaction, layering, and subgrade conditions.
Why This Material Works
The finer blend compacts tightly and provides a smooth, stable base layer suitable for driveways and access roads.
Common Applications
- Driveway base
- Stabilization layers
- General site preparation
Material Characteristics
- Dense-graded for tight compaction
- Shapes and finishes smoothly
- Supports repeated traffic
Planning Notes
Performance depends on proper compaction and site preparation. Drainage and subgrade conditions should be considered during installation.
