Crushed Concrete we deliver in Tahoe City
Crushed Concrete in Tahoe City
Contractors tend to order crushed concrete by the truckload, while homeowners often start with a smaller amount for a single driveway or pad. Both types of buyer want a material that compacts well and stays put through the seasons.
Tahoe City gets about 183 inches of snow a year, so plowing can damage a loose surface. A well-compacted layer of crushed concrete resists that wear.
Crushed Concrete Sizes Available for Tahoe City

How Tahoe City's Climate Affects Your Crushed Concrete Project
Tahoe City experiences about 226 freezing days a year. That many freeze-thaw cycles can heave an unstable base. A well-compacted crushed concrete layer resists that movement and stays level.
The area also gets about 38 inches of precipitation annually. Water that sits under the surface can cause washout. Crushed concrete drains well, but you need enough depth to handle the flow. The ground around Tahoe City takes water in at a moderate rate, so a standard base depth is usually enough. Soils mapped in the Tahoe City area are commonly well drained, which can reduce the amount of base stone needed under the surface layer.
Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time of year to order crushed concrete in Tahoe City?
The best time is late spring through early fall, when the ground is not frozen. Tahoe City has about 226 days a year below 32F, so compaction is easier in warmer months. That gives you a solid base before winter arrives.
What is the smallest load of crushed concrete you deliver to Tahoe City?
We deliver loads as small as 1 ton. Tahoe City gets about 83 wet days a year, so schedule delivery during a dry spell to keep the site firm for the truck.
What size crushed concrete should I choose?
It depends on the project. For a driveway base, 3/4" is the standard. Use 1"-1 1/2" for heavy loads, and 2"-3" for deep fill or mud control. Fine 3/8" works for top dressing.
Do you deliver to rural addresses outside the city limits?
Yes, we deliver to rural addresses in Placer County and beyond. The truck needs a road width of at least 12 feet. If access is tight, the crew unloads as close to your spot as possible.
