Road Base (1.5″)
Applications & Uses
Road Base in a 1.5" Size Range
Road base in a 1.5" size range is a foundational construction aggregate composed of crushed stone, gravel, and fines. This material is engineered to provide a stable, load-bearing surface for a variety of construction projects. The 1.5" particle size offers a balance between compaction and drainage, making it ideal for supporting heavy loads while allowing water to pass through, reducing the risk of pooling and erosion.
The larger 1.5" size is particularly effective for creating strong sub-bases in roadways, driveways, parking lots, and under concrete slabs. It is also commonly used in commercial and residential site preparation, as well as for temporary construction access roads. While the coarse texture ensures excellent load distribution and durability, it may be less suitable for applications requiring a smooth finish or tight compaction. Overall, 1.5" road base is valued for its strength, versatility, and reliable performance in demanding environments.
