A Vital Ingredient in Road Construction. Road base is a mixture of aggregates, such as stone and sand, used in building roads across the nation. It is inexpensive and components can be many sizes, from almost an inch to a dust. A good road base should cover the surface soil completely and be able support heavy vehicles evenly. And depending on ...
