ROAD BASE
We deliver itRoad Base (Shell)
Road base with shell is a versatile construction aggregate composed of crushed stone, recycled shell fragments, and fines. The inclusion of shell material not only enhances the aggregate's compaction properties but also introduces natural calcium, which can help stabilize the base over time. This blend is typically produced by crushing and screening local limestone or other stone, then mixing in cleaned, crushed shell.
