‍Ideal Uses

As the name implies, road base consists of durable crushed stone engineered to provide a solid foundation under high-traffic surfaces, including:

• Driveways
• Parking Lots
• Private Roads
• Alleys
• Shared Lanes

Properly laid road base prevents erosion and supports the asphalt, concrete, pavers, or other driving surface material placed above it.

‍

Typical Composition

Road base contains crushed, compactable aggregate rock material that packs tightly. Our road base consists of 3/4 inch crushed stone sourced locally. This allows good drainage while providing structural integrity.

‍

Advantages Over Unimproved Soil or Gravel

Unlike plain dirt pathways which erode from vehicle traffic and weather over time, road base provides long term stability. Benefits include:

• Supports Consistent Heavy Loads
• Resists Erosion Damage
• Allows Proper Drainage
• Forms Solid Foundation
• Can Be Customized by Adding Cement

Invest in quality road base for your new driveway, car park, alley or private road to save costs over the long run.
