Road Base CDOT, Class 6

Road Base with a CDOT (Colorado Department of Transportation) specification in a Class 6 size range is a high-quality aggregate blend designed for superior compaction and stability. This material typically consists of crushed stone, gravel, and fines, engineered to meet strict state standards for road construction and heavy-duty applications.

The Class 6 size range ensures a well-graded mix, allowing for excellent load-bearing capacity and minimal voids, which is essential for creating strong, long-lasting sub-bases. The CDOT attribute guarantees consistent quality and performance, making it ideal for use in roadways, parking lots, driveways, and under concrete slabs. Its excellent compaction properties reduce settling and shifting, while the presence of fines helps bind the material together. While it may be less decorative than other aggregates, its durability and reliability make it a top choice for both residential and commercial projects requiring a stable foundation.
