AP30 is a highly versatile mid‑range basecourse aggregate used across rural, residential, and commercial projects throughout Northland. Sitting between AP20 and AP40 in particle size, AP30 offers an ideal balance of strength, compaction, and workability. It is commonly used for driveways, farm races, sub‑base layers, hardstand areas, and general structural fill where stability and durability are essential.
Why AP30 Is a Contractor Favourite
AP30’s mid‑sized grading makes it one of the most adaptable aggregates in the AP range. It compacts more easily than AP40 & AP65 while still providing greater structural strength than AP20. This makes it perfect for rural accessways, lifestyle block driveways, and machinery yards where a strong base is needed without the heavier compaction equipment required for AP40.
AP30 is also widely used as a sub‑base beneath AP20. Together, they form a proven two‑layer system: AP30 for strength, AP20 for a smooth finish. This combination is ideal for customers wanting a tidy driveway that can handle everyday vehicle traffic.
Typical Uses
Benefits of AP30
Performance & Durability
AP30 is engineered to handle moderate to heavy vehicle traffic, including utes, tractors, trailers, and small machinery. Its balanced grading reduces voids, improving compaction and long‑term stability. When used as a sub‑base beneath AP20, AP30 significantly increases the lifespan of driveways and accessways.
