Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Paradise address and unloads right where you point.
For a typical residential driveway in Paradise, expect to order 15 to 20 tons of crushed concrete for a solid base. Since the ground here does not freeze hard, you can build a shallower base layer than you would in colder climates.
Crushed concrete is made from recycled demolition material, so it costs less per ton than quarried stone while still providing strong angular compaction. It works well for driveways, parking pads, backfill behind walls, and temporary access roads.
Crushed concrete comes in several sizes, each suited to a different job. The table below lists the options we deliver to Paradise. Select the size that fits your project.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | Good for most driveways and pads. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Smooth finish for walks and patios. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Standard compacting base size | Best for driveways and parking areas. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Handles heavy loads without shifting. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | For soft ground and wet areas. |
Crushed concrete solves several common problems around a property. Here is how to choose the right size for five typical projects.

| Driveway base on a budget | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches after compaction |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete or 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches |
| Backfill behind a wall | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete or 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Depends on wall height |
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | 6 inches minimum |
| Grade raising under a slab | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Varies for fill depth |
Paradise sits on soils that take in water slowly and shed a fair amount across the surface. That means a deeper drainage layer under your crushed concrete base is worth the extra material. Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts.
Butte County permitted about 657 single-family homes in 2024, so many new projects are in the works that will need base material. Whether you are building a new driveway or renovating an existing one, the local soil makes a well-drained base extra important.
To find out how many tons of crushed concrete your project requires, use our material calculators. Enter the area and depth, and the calculator gives you an estimate in tons. That takes the guesswork out of ordering.
