ROAD BASE

We deliver it

Road Base (1″, Commercial)

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.
