ROAD BASE

We deliver it

Road Base (1.5″)

Road base in a 1.5" size range is a foundational construction aggregate composed of crushed stone, gravel, and fines. This material is engineered to provide a stable, load-bearing surface for a variety of construction projects. The 1.5" particle size offers a balance between compaction and drainage, making it ideal for supporting heavy loads while allowing water to pass through, reducing the risk of pooling and erosion.
