Material Description

About This Product

#2 Road Base is a durable crushed limestone aggregate designed to provide a stable foundation for roads, driveways, parking lots, building pads, and construction projects. Produced from larger crushed limestone rock, #2 Road Base offers exceptional strength and load-bearing capabilities while maintaining adequate drainage characteristics.

Contractors, developers, municipalities, and property owners frequently utilize #2 Road Base as a foundational layer beneath roadways, heavy-use driveways, parking areas, equipment yards, and construction pads. Its larger stone size helps distribute loads effectively, making it an excellent choice for projects requiring long-term stability and performance.

#2 Road Base is often installed as a lower structural layer beneath finer base materials such as Grade 4, Grade 5, or 3/4" Base. This layered approach creates a strong foundation capable of supporting vehicle traffic, equipment loads, and future paving or surface improvements.

O'Leary Development Group delivers #2 Road Base throughout San Antonio, Cibolo, Schertz, New Braunfels, Seguin, Boerne, Bulverde, Spring Branch, and surrounding Central Texas communities. Whether you're constructing a roadway, preparing a building pad, stabilizing a site, or improving access roads, #2 Road Base provides the strength and durability your project demands.

Material Use

Choosing the Right Road Base

Road base and aggregate materials are rated by gradation — the mix of particle sizes from fines to larger rock. Smaller gradations (Grade 4, Grade 5, #2, 3/4") compact tighter and are ideal for driveways, roads, and base layers. Larger aggregate (57 stone, bull rock, ballast) is used for drainage, septic systems, french drains, and decorative rock work.
