Road Base (Class A (3/4″)
Applications & Uses
Road Base in Class A (3/4") Size Range
Road base in a Class A (3/4") size range is a versatile aggregate blend commonly used as a foundational layer in construction projects. This material typically consists of crushed stone mixed with fines, creating a stable, compactable surface. The 3/4" size ensures a balance between load-bearing strength and ease of compaction, making it ideal for supporting heavy traffic and structural loads.
The Class A grading means the aggregate meets strict specifications for particle size and distribution, resulting in consistent performance. This road base is widely used for residential driveways, commercial parking lots, roadways, and under concrete slabs or pavers. Its excellent compaction properties help prevent shifting and settling, while the mix of fines reduces voids for a smoother, more stable finish. While it may not be as decorative as other aggregates, its durability and reliability make it a top choice for foundational work.
