Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Corona address and unloads right where you point.
Crushed concrete often gets mixed up with crushed stone, but the two are different. Crushed concrete is recycled material from old pavement and structures, making it a lower-cost option per ton. Both are angular and compact well, but the recycled nature changes the price advantage.
Corona gets about 11 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage planning matters: crushed concrete's compacted density helps resist washout, but base depth still needs to account for the soil type underneath.
Not every crushed concrete size is right for every job. The table below lists each product, its intended use, and a warning about what it is not suitable for.
| Product | Best use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | Not for fine grading; works as a budget base under pavement or fill. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Not suitable for structural base; best for pathways and leveling. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Standard compacting base size | Avoid under heavy truck traffic if compacted thin; standard drive base. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Oversize for walkways; needed under equipment pads and driveways. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Not for final surface; used as deep fill or for stabilizing mud. |
Match your surface type to the right material size. The table below shows common jobs and what to order.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Backfill behind a wall | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 6 to 8 inches compacted in lifts |
| Parking pad | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | 8 to 10 inches base, then top with 3/8" |
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | 12 to 18 inches for mud control |
| Grade raising under a slab | Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches compacted |
| Driveway base on a budget | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 6 inches compacted, then 3/8" surface |
Soils mapped in the Corona area are commonly well drained, which means you can often use a standard base depth. The ground takes in water at a moderate rate, so typical base specifications are usually enough for most projects.
Corona sees about 19 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That gives you plenty of dry windows to schedule the delivery and get material placed on firm ground. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift if you are placing base in late fall.
Ground freezing is real but moderate here. That keeps base depth requirements reasonable and reduces the risk of frost heave in compacted layers.
To estimate the tons required, measure the project area in square feet and decide on the compacted depth. Use our material calculators to get a tonnage figure by entering length, width and depth.
Ordering is simple: choose your size and quantity online by the ton, and the price for delivery to your Corona address is calculated at checkout based on your ZIP code. The material arrives in a dump truck, with loads ranging from 1 to over 40 tons. Free delivery applies on qualifying orders, and new customers can use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off a first order.
Before you order, read about how Gravel Monkey works, check customer reviews, and review the delivery information to understand the scheduling and confirmation process.
Crushed concrete often works best as a base layer. Pair it with one of these materials for the finished surface or complementary use.
Ground freezing is real but moderate in Corona, so delivery reliability is rarely affected by cold alone. You should still plan for firm ground under the truck, especially after wet weather. The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after you order.
The freeze season is short, with about two days a year dropping below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. That means frost heave risk is low, so you can often stick with standard base depths. Deeper first lifts are useful if you are placing material in late fall.
You pick a delivery window at checkout: morning (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm). Gravel Monkey sends a confirmation email, 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. Someone must be available at the site during the window.
Three-quarter inch crushed concrete is the most common size for general base work. It compacts well and works under driveways, parking areas and as a base for other surfaces. One to one and a half inch is popular for heavier loads.
Whether you need a base for a driveway or fill for a parking pad, crushed concrete is a cost-effective choice. Order online from Gravel Monkey's Corona page to get started.
