    Special Grade Sub-Base (SGSB)
    Landtec-3inch-minus

    75 mm / 3″

    Features

    • No fines
    • Excellent drainage
    • Blasted/ crushed

     

    Perfect for use on…

    • Backfills
    • Foundations

    Special Granular Sub Base (SGSB) creates a solid gradable surface that is ready for topping with road crush. Common uses include sub bases of driveways and roads. Great for rough surfacing during construction phases, before finishing phases.

    SGSB is blasted, crushed and screened to 3” minus with fines left in for optimal binding and compaction. For best results, compact after application. Compaction locks the product together like jigsaw pieces making the surface very stable.

    Good for filling slightly muddy areas no more than 30 cm / 12” in depth. Areas deeper than 30 cm / 12” a coarser product should be considered, such as a 5” minus or larger. As well, if your site is very wet and muddy, we recommend the 5” minus and larger products instead of SGSB because they have better drainage.

    This product is made from blue basalt.

    Course Subgrade Crush
    landtec-5inch-minus with measuring tape for reference

    125 mm / 5″

    Features

    • Course
    • Weight bearing
    • Gradable

     

    Perfect for use on…

    • Back fills
    • Elevation adjustments
    • Road ballast
    • Wet areas

    Course Subgrade Crush (5” minus) with fines is excellent for creating weight bearing surfaces. As with the SGSB, the Course Subgrade Crush is still gradable and contains fines to create ideal binding and compaction. When compacted this product will lock together like puzzle pieces creating an incredibly strong sub base for your project.

    Course Subgrade Crush is best suited for larger fills and wet areas. Often used in areas with poor drainage, in landscaping where elevation adjustments are needed, or where heavy weight bearing capacity is required such as logging roads.

    Course Subgrade Crush has fewer steps to its production process, and we price it accordingly, making it an economical option.

    Unsorted blast rock is the perfect product for cost effectively filling large areas, creating an excellent weight bearing subsurface and traversing very wet areas.

    Thickness of product application is what determines the weight bearing capacity. From trucks to high rises.

    This product is used for function over beauty.
