Road Base in a 1.25” Size Range
Road base in a 1.25" 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 1.25" size offers a balance between large aggregate for strength and smaller particles for compaction, making it ideal for supporting heavy loads.
The larger 1.25" particles provide excellent load-bearing capacity and promote effective drainage, reducing the risk of water pooling and frost heave. This makes it a preferred choice for building driveways, parking lots, roadways, and under concrete slabs. Its ability to compact tightly ensures a solid base that resists shifting and settling over time. While the coarser size may make it less suitable for decorative or top-layer applications, it excels as a structural sub-base in both residential and commercial settings.Applications & Uses
