{"product_id":"1-5-inch-base-course","title":"1 1\/2 Inch Base Course Gravel for Driveways and Pads","description":"\u003cp\u003e1 1\/2 Inch Base Course, also called 1 1\/2 minus, is 1 1\/2 inch rock graded down to fines. It is finer than 2 1\/2 inch base course, which lets it compact into a tighter, smoother layer that sits closer to a finished surface. That makes it a versatile material: it works as a second base layer over 6 Inch Minus or 2 1\/2 Inch Base Course under a house pad, and it stands on its own where a thinner, finer lift is all the job needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn driveways, parking areas, and leveling work that does not call for much depth, this grade gives a solid, compactable surface that knits together well. The blend of rock and fines is what allows it to bind under regular traffic, so once it is laid and compacted it holds its line rather than scattering. Run it in a controlled lift, compact it, and it provides a clean, firm grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere it fits in the layering sequence depends on the build. On a deeper pad it is the finer cap over coarser base; on a lighter job it can be the main base course by itself. Because it is not a clean drain rock, keep it out of areas with standing water or heavy run-off, where a wash rock will perform better and last longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:20px;\"\u003eCommon uses:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecond base layer under house pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDriveways and parking areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeveling jobs that need a thin, firm lift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA finer base over coarser rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompacted surfaces close to final grade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:20px;\"\u003eGood to know:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso called 1 1\/2 minus, graded down to fines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFiner and tighter-compacting than 2 1\/2 base course\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks as a cap layer or a stand-alone base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot suited to run-off or standing-water areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn stock now.
