Description

Road Base (Compacted Base Material)

Build a strong, stable foundation with Road Base, a high-performance material designed for driveways, slabs, paving and heavy load applications.

Made from a blend of crushed rock and fines (typically up to 20mm down to dust), Road Base is engineered to compact tightly and lock together, creating a durable surface capable of supporting significant weight.

As a critical base layer in construction, Road Base provides the strength and stability needed to ensure long-lasting performance across both residential and commercial projects.

Key Features & Benefits

High load-bearing strength — Designed to support vehicles, structures and heavy traffic areas.

Excellent compaction — Mixed particle sizes bind together to form a solid, stable foundation.

Versatile base material — Suitable for a wide range of construction and landscaping applications.

Long-term durability — Helps prevent movement, sinking and surface failure over time.

Reliable structural support — Ideal for projects requiring a strong and consistent base layer.

What It’s Used For

Driveways & Parking Areas — Provides a durable base capable of handling vehicle traffic.

Under Concrete Slabs — Creates a stable foundation for sheds, patios and building slabs.

Paving & Hardstand Areas — Essential for paver installations and load-bearing surfaces.

Access Roads & Pathways — Used as the base layer for roads and high-traffic paths.

Why It Performs Better

Road Base is specifically engineered with a graded mix of aggregate sizes, allowing it to:

• Compact to a dense, stable surface
• Distribute weight evenly across the ground
• Reduce movement under heavy loads
• Provide long-term structural support

This makes it the preferred choice for applications where strength and durability are critical, especially compared to finer materials like crusher dust.

Important Product Characteristics

Coarse graded material (up to ~20mm) — Designed for strength and structure, not fine levelling.

Requires compaction — Must be compacted properly to achieve full performance.

Not a finishing layer — Typically used as a base layer beneath other materials.

Natural variation — Colour and texture may vary depending on source material.

Installation Tips

• Install in layers of 75–150mm depending on application
• Moisten slightly before compacting for best results
• Compact using a plate compactor or roller
• For paving, add a crusher dust or bedding sand layer on top for a smooth finish

Practical Information

This product is supplied as a bulk material, suitable for delivery directly to your project site.

Due to the natural materials used, colour, texture and particle size may vary between batches, which is normal.
