Road Base, Crushed Concrete, 1.5" Size

Road base made from crushed concrete in a 1.5" size range is a durable, recycled aggregate commonly used in construction and landscaping. Produced by crushing reclaimed concrete, this material offers a sustainable alternative to natural stone while maintaining excellent load-bearing properties.

The 1.5" size provides a stable foundation with good compaction, making it ideal for use under driveways, parking lots, roadways, and patios. Its angular, crushed texture locks together well, reducing shifting and settling over time. As a recycled product, crushed concrete road base is cost-effective and environmentally friendly, though it may contain minor impurities compared to virgin aggregates. This material is best suited for sub-base layers where strength and drainage are priorities.
