ROAD BASE
We deliver itRoad Base (5″)
Road base in a 5" size range is a coarse aggregate blend designed for foundational support in heavy-duty construction projects. Typically composed of crushed stone, gravel, and fines, this material is engineered to provide a stable, load-bearing layer beneath roads, driveways, and large parking areas. The larger 5" size allows for excellent structural integrity, making it ideal for projects requiring substantial compaction and support.
