Road Base (Class A)
Applications & Uses
Road Base in Class A Size Range
Road base in a Class A size range is a foundational construction aggregate designed for superior load-bearing and compaction. Typically composed of a blend of crushed stone, gravel, and fines, this material is engineered to create a stable, durable sub-base for roads, driveways, parking lots, and other high-traffic surfaces.
The Class A size range ensures a well-graded mix, allowing for excellent compaction and minimal voids. This results in a dense, stable layer that resists shifting and settling, making it ideal for both residential and commercial applications such as under asphalt, concrete slabs, or pavers. Its composition provides good drainage while maintaining structural integrity. The main advantage of Class A road base is its balance between strength and workability, though it may require mechanical compaction for optimal performance.
