Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Crescent City address and unloads right where you point.
Ordering crushed concrete by the ton means you need to know roughly how much your project requires. Crescent City gets about 74 inches of precipitation a year, so good drainage planning matters for any crushed concrete base.
A parking pad, driveway base, or temporary access road each call for a different tonnage. The size of the job and the depth you choose determine the total.
Crushed concrete comes in several sizes to match different jobs. The table below lists the options and what each works best for.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | A mixed size that compacts well for most projects. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Small particles give a smooth finish for walkways. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Standard compacting base size | The go-to for driveways and parking areas. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Larger stone handles heavier loads without settling. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Oversize rock stabilizes soft ground and fills ruts. |
Each project has a problem that the right crushed concrete size solves. The table below matches common jobs to the product and a typical depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Backfill behind a wall | Crushed Concrete (mixed) | 12 to 18 inches for drainage and support |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches after compaction |
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | 8 to 12 inches to bridge soft ground |
| Grade raising under a slab | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | 6 to 8 inches for stable fill |
| Driveway base on a budget | Crushed Concrete (mixed) | 4 to 6 inches with a top layer of 3/4" |
With only about 5 days a year below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, the ground rarely freezes in Crescent City. That means frost heave is not a major concern, and the crushed concrete base does not need extra depth to counteract ground movement.
Soils mapped in the Crescent City area are commonly moderately well drained. This affects how much base stone you place under the surface layer. On top of that, the ground around Crescent City takes in water slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer earns its place to handle the runoff.
Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
To estimate tonnage, measure the area in square feet and multiply by the depth in inches, then divide by 12 and multiply by about 1.4 tons per cubic yard. Our material calculators do that math for you and give a delivered price based on your ZIP code.

Edge restraints such as steel edging, treated timbers, or concrete curbs keep crushed concrete in place. A compacted base also helps prevent lateral movement.
