Road Base (3/4″ To 1.5″)
Applications & Uses
Road Base in a 3/4" to 1.5" Size Range
Road base in a 3/4" to 1.5" size range is a versatile aggregate blend commonly used as a foundational layer in construction projects. This material typically consists of crushed stone, gravel, and fines, engineered to create a stable, compactable surface. The larger size range allows for excellent load distribution and interlocking, which enhances the structural integrity of the base layer.
The 3/4" to 1.5" particle size is ideal for projects requiring robust support and effective drainage, such as driveways, parking lots, roadways, and under concrete slabs. Its coarse texture makes it less prone to shifting under heavy loads, while still allowing water to pass through, reducing the risk of pooling and frost heave. While this size range offers superior stability, it may be less suitable for applications needing a smooth, finished surface. Overall, road base in this size is a reliable choice for both residential and commercial groundwork.
