Road Base (1″)
Applications & Uses
Road Base in a 1" Size Range
Road base in a 1" size range is a versatile aggregate blend commonly used as a foundational layer in construction projects. Typically composed of crushed stone, gravel, and fines, this material is engineered to provide excellent compaction and load-bearing properties. The 1" size ensures a stable, interlocking structure that supports heavy traffic while allowing for adequate drainage.
The larger 1" particles in road base make it ideal for use beneath driveways, parking lots, roadways, and patios, where a strong, stable subgrade is essential. This size range balances compaction with drainage, reducing the risk of shifting or settling over time. While it may be less suitable for top layers due to its coarser texture, its durability and performance make it a preferred choice for both residential and commercial base applications.
