Aggregate Base Installation
At Verdeterre Contracting, we specialize in expertly installing aggregate base layers that provide the essential foundation for long-lasting roads, driveways, parking lots, and other hard surfaces. Our team combines precision grading, proper compaction techniques, and premium materials to ensure your project starts with a solid, stable base.
What Is Aggregate Base?
Aggregate base is a dense mix of crushed stone, gravel, and sand that serves as the structural layer beneath asphalt or concrete surfaces. It distributes loads evenly, resists shifting, and prevents cracking by promoting proper drainage and support.
Why Aggregate Base Matters
Whether you’re building a roadway or preparing for pavement, your surface is only as strong as what’s underneath. A properly installed aggregate base:
- Enhances load-bearing capacity
- Improves durability and longevity of surface materials
- Minimizes future maintenance costs
- Supports proper water runoff and drainage
Our Process
We take every step seriously — because a solid base means fewer issues down the line. Our process includes:
Site Preparation
Clearing and stripping the site to remove debris, vegetation, and unsuitable material.
Excavation & Subgrade Evaluation
We grade and compact the subgrade to ensure it meets stability requirements before any base material is placed.
Material Selection & Placement
Using high-quality crushed aggregates sourced from trusted suppliers, we install the base in lifts for even distribution.
Precision Grading
Each layer is carefully graded to meet the required slope and thickness based on project specifications.
Compaction
We use state-of-the-art compaction equipment to achieve optimal density and strength.
Final Inspection
Before surfacing begins, we confirm that the base meets all standards for flatness, compaction, and drainage.
