6 Inch Minus Base
C$13.50
6 inch minus base, also known as bank run, is a heavy-duty crushed aggregate made from blasted rock. This material ranges in size from large rock pieces up to approximately 6 inches down to fine quarry dust. It is not washed or cleaned, allowing the full mix of rock and fines to work together to create a dense, highly compatible base. It is commonly used where strength, mass, and stability are required, especially in areas with poor ground conditions.
