Road Base (3/4″, Type B)
Applications & Uses
Road Base Type B in a 3/4" Size Range
Road Base Type B in a 3/4" size range is a durable aggregate blend commonly used as a foundational layer in road construction and site preparation. This material typically consists of crushed stone mixed with fines, engineered to provide optimal compaction and load-bearing capacity. The 3/4" particle size ensures a stable, interlocking structure while still allowing for adequate drainage.
The Type B attribute indicates a specific gradation and composition, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications where strength and stability are critical. This road base is ideal for use under driveways, parking lots, roadways, and concrete slabs, both in residential and commercial projects. Its excellent compaction properties help prevent shifting and settling, while the 3/4" size offers a balance between ease of installation and long-term performance. Note that, due to the presence of fines, it may generate some dust during installation but will compact into a solid, reliable base.
