Road Base (3/4″ To 1.5″, Odot)
Applications & Uses
Odot Road Base, 3/4" to 1.5"
Odot road base in a 3/4" to 1.5" size range is a durable aggregate blend engineered for optimal compaction and stability. This material is typically produced by crushing and screening a mix of stone, gravel, and fines to meet strict Odot (Ohio Department of Transportation) specifications, ensuring consistent quality and performance.
The 3/4" to 1.5" size range provides a balanced mix of larger aggregate for structural strength and smaller particles for tight compaction, making it ideal for creating solid sub-bases. This combination is especially effective for road construction, driveways, parking lots, and heavy-use commercial surfaces where load-bearing capacity and long-term durability are critical. The Odot specification means reduced dust and reliable gradation, but the larger aggregate may be harder to hand-shovel or grade for small DIY projects. Overall, this road base is a trusted choice for both residential and commercial applications requiring a stable, well-draining foundation.
