After getting quotes from three companies, I chose Main Street Paving because they took the time to explain exactly what needed to be done. Great experience from start to finish.

Road Base FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions.

What materials are used for road base?

We primarily use crushed limestone aggregate in Central Texas, as it provides excellent compaction and drainage properties while standing up to our local soil conditions.

How thick should road base be?

For residential driveways, we typically install 4-6 inches of compacted base material. Commercial applications may require 6-12 inches depending on expected traffic and loads.

Can you install road base over existing soil?

In some cases yes, but we often recommend removing poor quality soil first. We'll assess your specific situation and recommend the best approach for long-term stability.

Do you handle drainage issues as part of road base installation?

Absolutely! Proper drainage is essential to any road base project. We ensure water flows away from your paved surfaces to prevent damage and erosion.

How long does road base installation take?

Most residential projects can be completed in 1-2 days. Larger commercial projects may take longer depending on scope and complexity.
