Road Base (3/4″, Type A)
Applications & Uses
Road Base Type A in a 3/4" Size Range
Road Base Type A in a 3/4" size range is a high-quality aggregate blend designed for foundational strength and stability in construction projects. This material typically consists of crushed stone mixed with fines, ensuring excellent compaction and load-bearing capacity. The 3/4" particle size strikes a balance between providing solid support and allowing for effective drainage, making it ideal for sub-base layers.
The "Type A" designation indicates a specific gradation and quality standard, ensuring consistent performance and minimal voids when compacted. This makes it a preferred choice for roadways, driveways, parking lots, and under concrete slabs. Its excellent compaction properties help prevent shifting and settling, while the 3/4" size allows for easier grading and smoother surfaces. While it may not be as decorative as other aggregates, its durability and reliability make it a staple for both residential and commercial base applications.
