Road Base (1.5″, Spec)
Applications & Uses
Road Base Spec in a 1.5" Size Range
Road base spec in a 1.5" size range is a high-quality aggregate blend engineered for strength and stability in heavy-duty construction applications. This material typically consists of crushed stone, gravel, and fines, all screened to meet strict specifications for gradation and compaction. The 1.5" size range ensures a robust, interlocking structure, making it ideal for supporting substantial loads.
The "spec" designation means this road base meets specific engineering standards, ensuring consistent performance and reliable compaction. The larger 1.5" particles provide excellent load-bearing capacity and drainage, making this material a top choice for roadways, parking lots, driveways, and under slab foundations. While its coarser texture offers superior stability, it may be less suitable for applications requiring a smooth finish. Overall, 1.5" spec road base is valued for its durability, ease of installation, and ability to create a long-lasting foundation in both residential and commercial projects.
