Common Projects That Use Crushed Concrete in Hartly

The table below matches each project to the right product and depth. These sizes fit the five jobs homeowners and contractors order most often.

How Hartly's Climate Affects Your Crushed Concrete Project

Hartly sees about 77 wet days a year, which means scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters. If the site is soft, compaction is harder and you risk potholes later. The ground around Hartly soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff, so less drainage stone is needed under the surface. Still, a layer of 3/4" crushed concrete over well-draining soil will handle the 48 inches of annual rain without washing out.

About 87 days a year drop below 32 degrees F, and the area gets roughly 13 inches of snow. Freeze-thaw cycles move an unsettled base, and plowing can tear up a loose surface. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. Frost penetration is real but moderate, meaning a base depth of 6 inches usually keeps the layer below the frost line for light traffic. Soils mapped in the Hartly area are commonly well drained, which helps reduce the amount of base stone you need compared to clay soils.

Estimating How Much Crushed Concrete You Need

Measure the length and width of the area in feet, multiply by the depth in inches, and divide by 12 to get cubic feet. Then divide by 27 to find cubic yards. A ton of crushed concrete covers roughly 1 to 1.5 cubic yards, depending on the size. Use the material calculators on our site to get a tonnage estimate before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Concrete in Hartly

When is the best time of year to order crushed concrete in Hartly?

Spring or fall are best because temperatures are moderate and the ground is less likely to be frozen or saturated. Hartly sees about 77 wet days a year, so ordering in a drier month gives the base time to settle before heavy rain.

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

The smallest load is one ton. Even a single ton can cover a small area like a parking pad or path. With Hartly's population of about 79, a one-ton load is a practical size for most properties in town.

What size crushed concrete should I choose?

For a compacted base under a driveway, go with 3/4" Crushed Concrete. For a top dressing that you can rake smooth, use 3/8" Crushed Concrete. For deep mud sections, 2"-3" Crushed Concrete works best.

Do you deliver to rural addresses outside the city limits?

Yes, we deliver to rural addresses as long as the access road is at least 12 feet wide for the dump truck. If the road is narrow, the crew unloads as close as they safely can.
