Buy Crushed Concrete in Sterling, Colorado

Contractors and homeowners use crushed concrete differently. Contractors typically order by the full truckload for large jobs, while homeowners buy smaller amounts for a driveway or parking pad.

Sterling gets about 17 inches of precipitation a year, and that affects how the crushed concrete base handles runoff. A well-compacted layer with the right depth helps prevent washout.

Crushed Concrete Sizes Available in Sterling

Crushed concrete comes in several sizes to match the job. Each size packs down differently and suits a different part of a project.

Which Crushed Concrete Size to Use for Common Jobs

The right size depends on what you are fixing. Here is how to match the material to the project.

Local Conditions That Affect Crushed Concrete Use in Sterling

Soils around Sterling are often somewhat poorly drained. That means water can sit near the surface after rain or snowmelt. Under a crushed concrete driveway or pad, this usually calls for a thicker base layer to spread the load and keep the material from mixing with the wet soil below. The soil in this area takes in water at a moderate rate, so a standard compacted base depth is typically adequate for most uses.

Sterling sees about 164 days a year when the temperature drops below freezing. That long cold season means the ground freezes deep and stays frozen for months. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer. A crushed concrete base that is thick enough and well compacted resists the shifting that happens in spring.

Estimating How Much Crushed Concrete You Need

To figure out how many tons you need, measure the area in square feet and multiply by the depth in feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. A cubic yard of crushed concrete weighs roughly 1.4 tons, but the exact figure depends on the size and moisture content. Use our material calculators to get a closer estimate for your project.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Concrete in Sterling

What is the smallest load of crushed concrete you deliver to Sterling?

The smallest load is 1 ton. Sterling sees about 40 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling delivery for a dry stretch helps keep the site firm.

Do you deliver crushed concrete to Sterling and the surrounding area?

Yes, we deliver to Sterling and all nearby towns in Logan County and beyond. The delivery date is chosen at checkout and must be at least 3 business days after the order date.

What is the difference between the sizes of crushed concrete you stock?

The sizes range from fine 3/8 inch material for top dressing up to 2-3 inch material for deep fill. The larger the stone, the better it handles heavy loads and wet ground. The smaller sizes compact to a smoother surface.

How do I stop it spreading past the edges?

Edging such as landscape timbers, concrete curbs, or steel edging helps hold the crushed concrete in place. A compacted base and a slight crown in the surface also reduce lateral movement.
