Road Base (Class 6 (#200 To 3/4″)

Road Base, Class 6 (#200 to 3/4")

Road base in a Class 6 size range (#200 to 3/4") is a well-graded aggregate blend commonly used as a foundational layer in construction projects. This material typically consists of crushed stone, gravel, and fines, engineered to create a stable, compactable surface. The wide size range-from fine particles passing a #200 sieve up to 3/4" stones-ensures excellent compaction and load-bearing capacity.

The combination of coarse and fine particles allows Class 6 road base to lock together tightly, minimizing voids and providing a solid, stable base for roads, driveways, parking lots, and patios. Its superior compaction properties make it ideal for both residential and commercial applications where a durable sub-base is essential. While the presence of fines improves stability and reduces shifting, it can also limit drainage compared to more open-graded materials. Overall, Class 6 road base is valued for its strength, versatility, and reliability in supporting paved and unpaved surfaces.
