Crusher run gravel, also known as crush and run, aggregate base course (ABC), or GAB (graded aggregate base), is a compactable blend of crushed stone and stone dust designed to create a firm, stable foundation. Unlike clean gravel, crusher run contains fines that help the material lock together tightly when compacted, forming a solid, level surface that resists shifting and rutting.
Typically sized as 1 inch minus or 3/4 inch minus depending on local spec, this dense graded material is widely used for base and sub-base preparation in both residential and commercial construction.
Common applications for crusher run gravel
- Driveway and access road base
- Road base and parking areas
- Base layer under patios and pavers
- Foundation and utility trench support
