Road Base (Class 6 (#200 To 3/4″), Roadbase)
Applications & Uses
Road Base - Class 6 (#200 to 3/4") Roadbase
Road base in a Class 6 size range (#200 to 3/4") is a well-graded blend of crushed stone, gravel, and fines engineered for superior compaction and stability. The "roadbase" attribute indicates that this material is specifically formulated to create a strong, load-bearing foundation for roads, driveways, and parking areas. The size range-from fine particles passing a #200 sieve up to 3/4" aggregate-ensures excellent interlock and minimal voids, resulting in a dense, stable surface.
This material is ideal for both residential and commercial applications, including sub-bases for asphalt or concrete pavements, gravel driveways, and pathways. Its well-graded composition allows for easy compaction, reducing the risk of settling or shifting over time. The presence of fines helps bind the aggregate together, but may generate some dust during installation. Overall, Class 6 road base offers a reliable, cost-effective solution for foundational work where strength and durability are essential.
