Base Rock

Standard DOT road base for concrete pours, building pads and temporary roads.

Base rock as a product is a densely graded blend of coarse and fine aggregate and is most commonly used in pathway and driveway construction. When compacted, base rock provides excellent stabilization underneath structures like patios, slabs, parking lots, sidewalks and roadways.
