Road Base (5/8″)

5/8” Road Base

5/8" road base is a versatile aggregate blend commonly used in construction and landscaping projects. This material typically consists of crushed stone mixed with fines, creating a stable, compactable surface ideal for supporting heavy loads. The 5/8" size range strikes a balance between providing solid compaction and allowing for effective drainage, making it a popular choice for both residential and commercial applications.




The specific 5/8" sizing ensures the aggregate locks together tightly when compacted, reducing shifting and settling over time. This makes it especially suitable for use as a sub-base for driveways, walkways, patios, and roadways. It is also frequently used under concrete slabs and pavers, as well as for temporary construction access roads. The blend of coarse and fine particles helps minimize voids, resulting in a firm, stable foundation. While its excellent compaction properties are a major advantage, the presence of fines means it may generate some dust during installation. Overall, 5/8" road base is valued for its strength, durability, and reliable performance in a wide range of groundwork projects.
