Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Littleton address and unloads right where you point.
Littleton's soil takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. That means drainage is a real concern for any new surface. A deeper layer of crushed concrete as a base helps manage that runoff.
For a strong, stable base that handles drainage, crushed concrete is a practical choice. It compacts well and resists washout. Many contractors in Arapahoe County specify it for driveways and parking areas.
Crushed concrete comes in several sizes to match different jobs. The most-ordered size is 3/4" Crushed Concrete, the standard compacting base for most residential work. The table below lists all the options available from Gravel Monkey.
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | A general-purpose recycled material for fill and base courses under many surfaces. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Great for a smooth top layer on paths or as a bedding for pavers. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | The go-to choice for driveways and parking areas that need a firm base. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | A larger size for heavier loads or deeper base layers under concrete. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Best for deep fill in soft spots or temporary access roads. |
The right crushed concrete size depends on the job and the depth needed. Use the table below as a quick guide.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
| Backfill behind a wall | Crushed Concrete | Compacted in lifts, typical depth varies. |
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | 6 to 12 inches for heavy trucks |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches compacted |
| Grade raising under a slab | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | 6 to 8 inches |
| Driveway base on a budget | Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches with a top layer of 3/8" if desired |
Littleton gets about 19 inches of precipitation a year. That means rain events can lead to runoff, especially with the slow-draining soil. A base layer of crushed concrete that is thick enough to handle that water is important.
About 42 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling a delivery onto firm ground means picking a day that is not wet. Gravel Monkey orders can be scheduled around the forecast. About one-fifth of the year drops below freezing. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. A thicker base of crushed concrete resists frost heave better than a thin one.
The area averages about 62 inches of snow a year. Plowing can disturb a loose surface, so a compacted base of crushed concrete holds up better. Arapahoe County permitted about 2,362 single-family homes in 2024, and many of those new homes will need base work.
To estimate how many tons of crushed concrete you need, measure the length and width of the area in feet and the desired depth in inches. Use the material calculators from Gravel Monkey to get an accurate tonnage estimate. The tool accounts for compaction and waste, so you order the right amount.

Crushed concrete works well alongside other bulk materials. Here are the most common combinations ordered by Littleton customers.
Most orders are placed between spring and fall when the ground is workable. With about 155 freezing days a year, the window for installation is narrower than in warmer states. Plan your project to avoid deep frost periods.
Littleton gets about 19 inches of precipitation a year, which is modest, but the slow-draining soil means washout can happen if the base is not thick enough. Gravel Monkey recommends a base depth suited to the drainage conditions.
