Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Benson address and unloads right where you point.
Contractors often order crushed concrete by the truckload for big base jobs, while homeowners might need just a few tons for a pad or driveway. Both approaches work the same way with Gravel Monkey: you pick the size online and we deliver to your address. Benson gets about 32 wet days a year, so scheduling delivery onto firm ground matters more than the season.
Crushed concrete is recycled road and building material that compacts into a sturdy surface. It costs less than crushed stone and handles drainage well, which is useful in a climate with about 15 inches of rainfall annually.
Crushed concrete comes in five common sizes in our inventory. Each one suits a different part of a project, from fine leveling to heavy fill.
| Product | Best Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | A versatile blend of all sizes, good for most base layers. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Small particles that pack smooth for walkways or final grade. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | Ideal for driveways and parking pads that need a firm, stable layer. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Larger pieces lock together well for high-traffic areas. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Oversize material for boggy spots or raising a grade quickly. |
The right size depends on the problem you are fixing. This table matches typical jobs to product choices and depths.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches, placed on a geotextile fabric if the ground is soft. |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches compacted, with a 2-inch top layer of 3/8" if needed. |
| Backfill behind a wall | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Use 12 to 18 inches wide behind the wall, compacted in lifts. |
| Grade raising under a slab | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Fill thickness depends on the gap; compact every 8 inches. |
| Driveway base on a budget | Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches for cars, 8 inches for occasional truck traffic. |
The Benson area gets about 15 inches of precipitation each year. That is moderate, but the ground here takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. This means a deeper drainage layer under your crushed concrete earns its place, especially if you are building a pad or driveway on native soil.
About 40 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Those freezing days can cause the ground to heave slightly, so a 4-inch base is usually enough for light use, while 6 inches gives a safety margin. Snowfall is about 0 inches a year, so plowing damage to a loose surface is not a problem. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
Because the ground freezing here is not a significant factor, the base layer does not need extra depth for frost protection. Focus on compaction and drainage instead.
Tonnage depends on the area you are covering and the depth you choose. A 4-inch layer over a 10x20-foot area takes roughly 2.5 tons, but every project is different. Use our material calculators to get a close estimate by entering your dimensions and depth. Then order by the ton at checkout.
Buying crushed concrete from Gravel Monkey is straightforward. You order online by the ton, delivery is priced by ZIP code at checkout, and a dump truck brings the load to your address. Loads range from 1 to 40-plus tons. Free delivery applies on qualifying orders, and first-time buyers can use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off.
You choose a delivery window at checkout: morning (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm). A valid phone number is required to confirm the delivery. We send an email confirmation when the order is placed and a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. You must approve that second email before the delivery goes ahead. Someone must be at the site during the window. The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck.

The sizes differ by particle diameter, which affects compaction and appearance. The 3/8" size works as a fine top dressing, 3/4" is the standard base size, 1" to 1 1/2" works for heavy base layers, and 2" to 3" is for deep fill and mud control. The general Crushed Concrete product is a blend of these.
Edge restraints such as metal or plastic edging, landscape timbers, or concrete curbs keep the crushed concrete in place. For driveways, a layer of the 2" to 3" size along the edges can also help contain the smaller material.
