ROAD BASE
We deliver itRoad Base (Class 5 (1″))
Road base in a Class 5 (1") size range is a well-graded blend of crushed stone, gravel, and sand, engineered for superior compaction and stability. This material is produced by mechanically crushing and screening natural rock, resulting in a mix where the largest particles are approximately 1 inch in diameter. The Class 5 specification ensures a balanced distribution of fines and larger aggregate, which is essential for creating a dense, load-bearing surface.
