Commercial Road Base in 1" Size Range

Commercial road base in a 1" size range is a durable aggregate blend designed for high-performance load-bearing applications. Typically composed of crushed stone, gravel, and fines, this material is engineered to provide a stable foundation for roads, parking lots, and heavy-use driveways. The 1" particle size ensures optimal compaction while still allowing for effective drainage, reducing the risk of water pooling and subgrade instability.

The commercial-grade attribute means this road base meets stringent specifications for strength and consistency, making it ideal for both large-scale infrastructure projects and demanding residential uses. Its excellent compaction properties create a solid, long-lasting base for asphalt or concrete surfaces. While the coarse texture may not be suitable for decorative or barefoot areas, it excels in structural applications where stability and durability are paramount.
