Road Base (3/8″ To 3/4″)
Applications & Uses
Road Base in a 3/8" to 3/4" Size Range
Road base in a 3/8" to 3/4" size range is a versatile aggregate blend commonly used as a foundational layer for roads, driveways, parking lots, and pathways. This material typically consists of crushed stone mixed with fines, creating a stable, compactable surface that supports heavy loads and resists shifting.
The 3/8" to 3/4" size range offers an optimal balance between compaction and drainage. The smaller particles fill gaps between larger stones, resulting in a dense, interlocking base that minimizes settling and provides excellent load-bearing capacity. This makes it ideal for both residential and commercial projects where a strong, stable sub-base is essential. While its compactability is a major advantage, it may not be suitable for decorative top layers due to its coarse texture. Overall, this road base is a reliable choice for any project requiring a durable, long-lasting foundation.
