About Road Base

Road base is a gray compacted aggregate consisting of crushed stone and mineral fines, sized from powder to approximately one and a half inches. The mineral fines cause it to compress into a stable, dense layer that resists settling, movement, and deformation. This makes road base the industry standard for driveway subgrades, building pads, parking lot bases, and roadway foundations. A cubic yard weighs roughly 2,850 pounds, and the material is sold by the ton.

The compaction characteristics of road base prevent the unevenness that develops when structures rest on unimproved soil. Because of its reliability, economy, and wide availability, contractors and builders rely on road base for virtually every foundation project. Once properly installed in thin layers and compacted, it provides a base that drains water freely and resists shifting under the load of structures, vehicles, and foot traffic.

Road base is especially suited to Garden Grove and the surrounding area, where land grading varies from flat developed land to rolling slopes. Homeowners and contractors both benefit from bulk pricing that makes road base economical for any size project, from a single driveway to a multi-lot development.
