Road Base (3/4″ To 1″)
Applications & Uses
Road Base in a 3/4" to 1" Size Range
Road base in a 3/4" to 1" size range is a versatile aggregate blend commonly used as a foundational layer in construction projects. This material typically consists of crushed stone mixed with fines, creating a stable, compactable surface that supports heavy loads. The 3/4" to 1" particle size offers an optimal balance between compaction and drainage, making it ideal for both structural integrity and water management.
The larger aggregate size within this range provides excellent load-bearing capacity, while the inclusion of fines helps lock the material in place, reducing shifting and settling over time. Road base is widely used for building driveways, parking lots, roadways, and as a sub-base for patios and walkways. Its main advantages include durability, ease of compaction, and reliable performance under traffic. However, the coarser size may make it less suitable for applications requiring a very smooth finish.
