Road Base (Class 5 (#200 To 1″)
Applications & Uses
Road Base in Class 5 (#200 to 1") Size Range
Road base in a Class 5 size range (#200 to 1") is a well-graded blend of crushed stone, gravel, and fines. This material is engineered to provide a stable, compactable foundation for roads, driveways, parking lots, and building pads. The mix includes particles as fine as #200 sieve (very fine dust) up to 1-inch stones, ensuring excellent compaction and load-bearing capacity.
The combination of coarse and fine particles allows Class 5 road base to lock together tightly, minimizing voids and creating a firm, stable surface. This makes it ideal for both residential and commercial applications where a strong sub-base is essential, such as under asphalt or concrete pavements, gravel driveways, and pathways. The presence of fines helps bind the material, reducing movement and settling over time, though it may generate some dust during installation. Overall, Class 5 road base is valued for its durability, ease of compaction, and reliable performance in a wide range of construction projects.
