Road Base (Class 6 (3/4″)
Applications & Uses
Road Base, Class 6 (3/4")
Road base in a Class 6, 3/4" size range is a versatile aggregate blend commonly used as a foundational layer in construction projects. This material typically consists of crushed stone, gravel, and fines, engineered to create a stable, compactable surface. The 3/4" particle size ensures a balance between strength and compaction, making it ideal for supporting heavy loads while minimizing voids.
The Class 6 specification means the material meets strict gradation and quality standards, ensuring consistent performance. This road base is widely used for building driveways, parking lots, roadways, and as a sub-base for patios and sidewalks. Its excellent compaction properties provide a solid, long-lasting foundation, while the mix of fines helps lock particles together, reducing shifting and settling. While it offers superior load-bearing capacity, it may require proper drainage planning to prevent water retention. Overall, Class 6 (3/4") road base is a reliable choice for both residential and commercial groundwork.
