Crushed Concrete in Gypsum
Gypsum gets about 131 inches of snow a year, which means a loose crushed concrete surface takes damage from plowing and traffic. A properly compacted base and a well-drained top layer keep the surface from rutting and heaving through the winter.
Crushed concrete is recycled demolition material that packs down into a stable, angular base. It delivers by dump truck in loads from one ton to more than forty, and you pick your delivery window at checkout.
Crushed Concrete Sizes for Gypsum Projects
The most-ordered size here is 3/4" Crushed Concrete, which works as the standard compacting base for driveways and pads. The table below lists all available sizes, what each is for, and a short note on use.
| Product | Best use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | Mixed sizes, good for bulk fill and subbase. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Works as a final wearing surface on drives. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | Locks together well for vehicle loads. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Handles deep frost conditions with proper depth. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Ideal for raising grade and stabilizing wet ground. |
What to Order for Common Jobs in Gypsum
Each project needs a specific crushed concrete size and depth. The table matches five typical jobs with the right product and a note on placement.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Grade raising under a slab | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Compacted to a depth that resists frost heave. |
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Place 12 to 18 inches for mud control. |
| Backfill behind a wall | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Drainable fill with a cleanout pipe. |
| Driveway base on a budget | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 6 to 8 inches compacted for light vehicles. |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Top with 3/8" for a smooth surface. |
How Gypsum Weather Affects Crushed Concrete
About 210 days a year drop below 32F, which shortens the work season and causes ground movement. Crushed concrete's angular particles lock together when compacted, but the base must be deep enough to resist shifting from freeze-thaw cycles. Plan your installation between late spring and early fall to get full compaction before the ground freezes.
Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer. Frost penetration in Gypsum is deep and long, so a thicker subbase of 1"-1 1/2" or 2"-3" crushed concrete may be needed under any paved or gravel surface. The ground around Gypsum is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. That makes a deeper drainage layer under the base earn its place, especially where melting snow adds runoff.
How Many Tons of Crushed Concrete You Need
Tonnage depends on the area and the compacted depth you plan. A 10-by-20-foot driveway at 6 inches deep needs about 7 to 8 tons. Use the material calculators on the site to get a quick tonnage estimate based on your dimensions and chosen product.

Other Materials to Pair with Crushed Concrete

- Mulch, Top a crushed concrete base with mulch for a finished landscape bed.
- Driveway Gravel, Use as a wearing surface over crushed concrete subbase.
- Topsoil, Spread topsoil over crushed concrete for a planting area.
- Crushed Stone, Compare with crushed concrete for color and cost.
- Crushed Gravel, Another angular base material with similar compaction.
- Fill Dirt, Use fill dirt to raise grade before the crushed concrete base.
Frequently Asked Questions about Crushed Concrete in Gypsum
When is the best time of year to order crushed concrete in Gypsum?
The best time is late spring through early fall. Gypsum gets about 19 inches of precipitation a year, and wet weather can delay compaction and delivery. Ordering in spring lets you take advantage of drier conditions and gives you the full work season before winter.
How many tons of crushed concrete do I need for my project?
About 56 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so schedule your delivery onto firm ground. Tonnage depends on area and depth. Use the material calculators on the site to enter your dimensions and get an exact number in tons.
Do you take orders from businesses as well as homeowners?
Yes. Gravel Monkey delivers to anyone: homeowners, contractors, landscapers, and commercial accounts. All orders are placed online and delivered by dump truck to the site.
How far in advance should I order?
