Our road base is made from a blend of crushed rock and fine aggregates, designed to compact into a firm, stable foundation. Whether you're preparing a new driveway, upgrading a rural access track or creating a base for paving, our road base provides a practical and cost-effective solution.
Road base is a versatile construction material suitable for a range of residential, commercial and landscaping applications.
Common uses include:
Driveways: Create a compacted foundation for residential driveways, rural driveways and access tracks.
Pathways: Establish a stable base beneath paving and pedestrian pathways.
Shed Foundations: Prepare a firm sub-base for appropriately designed concrete slabs and shed floors.
Hardstand Areas: Provide a durable foundation for parking areas, equipment storage and work sites.
Landscaping Projects: Prepare and level areas before paving or other construction work.
Excellent Compaction: Crushed rock and fine aggregates compact together to create a firm, stable foundation.
Long-Lasting Durability: Suitable for areas exposed to regular vehicle traffic and heavy use when correctly installed.
Versatile Applications: Ideal for driveways, pathways, hardstand areas and construction preparation.

Convenient Delivery: Order your required volume online and arrange delivery to eligible Sunshine Coast suburbs.
QSoil Direct makes ordering road base simple, with delivery available across eligible Sunshine Coast locations, including Caloundra, Buderim, Maroochydore, Forest Glen, Nambour, Noosa and surrounding suburbs.
Whether you need road base for a small backyard project or a larger driveway installation, you can select your required volume and arrange delivery directly through our online store.
Before ordering road base, it's important to calculate the volume required for your project.
Multiply the length, width and depth of your area in metres to estimate the cubic metres needed.
For example, a driveway measuring 10 metres long, 3 metres wide and 100mm deep requires approximately 3 cubic metres of material before allowing for compaction.
Use our Online Soil & Aggregate Calculator to estimate the amount required for your project.
Depending on your project, you may also need:
Crusher Dust – Suitable for compacted pathways, paving preparation and landscaping applications.
Garden Soil – Ideal for establishing garden beds and improving planting areas.
