Road Base (1″ To 2″)
Applications & Uses
Road Base in a 1" to 2" Size Range
Road base in a 1" to 2" size range is a durable aggregate blend commonly used as a foundational layer for roads, driveways, parking lots, and other load-bearing surfaces. This material typically consists of crushed stone, gravel, and fines, engineered to provide optimal compaction and stability. The larger 1" to 2" particle size offers excellent load distribution and interlocking properties, making it ideal for supporting heavy traffic and preventing surface deformation.
The coarser size range enhances drainage while still allowing for effective compaction, reducing the risk of water pooling and frost heave. This makes it a preferred choice for both residential and commercial projects where a strong, stable base is essential. While the larger aggregate size may require more effort to achieve a smooth finish, it excels in structural applications where strength and longevity are priorities.
