Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Dothan address and unloads right where you point.
A standard driveway base takes somewhere between 8 and 15 tons of crushed concrete. Most of the loads we deliver to Dothan properties fall in that range. With about 58 inches of precipitation a year, drainage planning matters from day one.
Crushed concrete is a recycled alternative to quarried stone. It compacts into a stable base and costs less than crushed stone per ton. Delivered by the ton and dumped where you mark the spot, it is a practical choice for drives, pads and fill.
The size range is the starting point. Each grade serves a different part of the build, from fine top dressing to deep fill. Pick the particle size that matches your layer depth and compaction need.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | Mixed particle sizes for most base layers |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Small enough to rake smooth for walkable surfaces |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | Packs tight under weight for driveways and slabs |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Larger particles lock together for load-bearing |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Good for raising grade or stabilizing soft ground |
Match the product to the problem. The table below shows five typical jobs and the size that solves each one.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | 6 to 8 inches for mud control |
| Backfill behind a wall | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Compacts well against the wall face |
| Parking pad | 3/4" or 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches compacted |
| Driveway base on a budget | Crushed Concrete (mixed) | 6 inches for light vehicles, more for heavy |
| Grade raising under a slab | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Fill and compact in lifts |
Dothan gets about 58 inches of precipitation each year. That much rain puts washout risk at the top of the list. A compacted crushed concrete base drains laterally, but the slope of the finished surface and the edge restraint matter just as much as the material. Around 73 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is a real consideration. Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is. About 25 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Those freezes can push the surface of an unstable base, but the ground itself does not heave enough to trouble a well-compacted layer. Snowfall averages about 0 inches a year, so plowing damage to a loose surface is not a concern. Frost depth does not affect base thickness the way it does in colder climates. The result is a long working season that pauses mainly when the ground is too wet to roll.
Volume is measured in cubic yards, and crushed concrete is sold by the ton. The exact tonnage depends on the depth of the layer and the area you are covering. Use our material calculators to convert square footage to tons for the specific size you plan to order. Enter the dimensions and depth, and the calculator gives you a tonnage figure to input at checkout.
Ordering is straightforward. You choose the product and quantity online by the ton, enter your ZIP code for the delivered price, and select a delivery window: morning (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm). The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order date. A valid phone number is required to confirm the delivery. You get an email confirmation when the order is placed, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email. You or someone you nominate must be available at the site during the window. The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck. Loads range from 1 ton to 40+ tons, and free delivery is available on qualifying orders. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off your first order. For full details, see our Delivery Information page. Learn more about Gravel Monkey and read customer reviews.
Crushed concrete works alone for many base applications, but some jobs call for companion materials. Here are the most common pairings.
The smallest load we deliver is 1 ton. Because Dothan sees about 73 days a year with measurable rainfall, scheduling delivery when the ground is firm helps avoid issues with a small load settling into soft earth. One ton covers roughly 40 square feet at 2 inches deep, depending on the size.
Yes, we deliver crushed concrete to Dothan and the nearby communities listed below. Houston County permitted about 359 single-family homes in 2024, a county figure that shows steady demand for base materials. Our network covers the Wiregrass region and most towns within a reasonable distance of Dothan.
The sizes differ by particle diameter, which determines how the material compacts and what it supports. The 3/8 inch size works for thin top layers. The 3/4 inch size is the standard base for most vehicle traffic. The 1 to 1.5 inch size adds strength under heavy loads. The 2 to 3 inch size is for deep fill and mud control. The mixed crushed concrete is a general-purpose blend of several sizes.
Edge restraint is essential. Install metal edging, landscape timbers, or a concrete curb to hold the crushed concrete in place. Without a physical barrier, the material will migrate sideways with traffic and rain runoff. A 2 by 6 inch board staked along each side works for temporary paths. For permanent drives, poured or block edging lasts longest.
