Crushed Concrete in Durango
Crushed concrete is a common base material for properties around Durango and La Plata County. Driveways, parking pads, and temporary access roads often use it where a budget-conscious, compactable surface is needed.
Durango gets about 20 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter when putting down a recycled base.

How Durango's Climate and Soil Affect Your Crushed Concrete Base
Durango sees about 51 wet days a year, so scheduling delivery onto firm ground avoids truck issues. The 20 inches of precipitation mean you need to plan for drainage.
With about 202 freezing days a year, the ground moves. Frost heave can be real but moderate, which affects how deep your base should go. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.
Soils mapped in the Durango area are commonly moderately well drained, so you may need more or less base stone under the surface layer. About 85 inches of snowfall each year means plowing can damage a loose surface, so a compacted top layer helps.

The smallest load we deliver is one ton. That amount suits small projects like a parking pad or a short driveway. In La Plata County, about 173 single-family homes were permitted in 2024, and many of those start with a one-ton load of crushed concrete for a base.
Do you deliver crushed concrete to Durango and the surrounding area?
Yes, we deliver to Durango and many surrounding areas. Durango experiences real but moderate ground freezing, so a properly compacted crushed concrete base resists heave and stays stable through the winter.
Do you take orders from businesses as well as homeowners?
Yes, we take orders from both homeowners and businesses. The same online ordering process works for commercial customers, and loads can be scaled up for larger projects.
