Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Destin address and unloads right where you point.
Destin gets about 67 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage is a constant concern for any base material. Crushed concrete works well because its angular particles lock together and let water pass through. That makes it a practical choice for driveways, pads, and other ground surface jobs in a wet climate.
With roughly 78 wet days a year, scheduling delivery onto firm ground matters. A stable sub-base under the crushed concrete is what keeps the surface from moving after it is placed.
The most popular size for general use is 3/4" Crushed Concrete. It compacts into a solid base for driveways and parking areas. The table below shows every size we stock and what each one is meant for.
| Product | What it is for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | Good all-purpose size for beginners |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Works well as a wearing surface for paths |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | Best balance of drainage and strength |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Handles truck traffic without rutting |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Ideal for building up soft ground |
The chart below pairs typical projects with the right crushed concrete product and a recommended approach to depth and placement.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Fill ruts and build a stable track |
| Backfill behind a wall | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Compacts well and drains freely |
| Driveway base on a budget | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Thick layer stands up to vehicles |
| Grade raising under a slab | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Compacted to a firm, level base |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 6 to 8 inches compacted for light cars |
Destin sees about 26 days a year where temperatures drop below 32F, but ground freezing here is not a significant factor. Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts. That puts the focus on water management instead of frost protection.
Soils mapped in the Destin area are commonly very poorly drained. This means more base stone is often needed under the surface layer to keep water from pooling and softening the ground. Ground around Destin is in dual hydrologic group B/D. Where it is drained, it takes water in at a moderate rate; where it is not, water runs across the surface. Drainage improvements make a big difference.
Because the soil behavior depends on whether the site has been improved, a deeper crushed concrete base is a safe bet for most projects. The angular material resists washing and holds up under wet conditions.
Calculate the volume of the area you plan to cover, then convert that into tons based on the density of crushed concrete. Use the material calculators on the Gravel Monkey website to get an accurate number for your specific dimensions and depth.

These products are often ordered alongside crushed concrete for a complete job.
Any time of year works because the ground rarely freezes. With 67 inches of annual rainfall, spring and fall tend to offer the driest conditions for delivery and placement. Avoid scheduling during heavy rain events to keep the site firm.
The tonnage depends on the area and the depth you plan to use. Since soils in the Destin area are very poorly drained, you may need a thicker base than in other places, which increases the tonnage. Use the material calculators to get a precise estimate for your project.
No. Someone must be present during the delivery window to accept the load and direct the driver. You can nominate another person to be there in your place. If nobody is available, a redelivery fee may apply and the order will not be refunded.
The smallest size, 3/8-inch crushed concrete, is used for fine top dressing and leveling. The largest, 2 to 3 inch, is for deep fill and mud control. In between, 3/4-inch is the standard compacting base, and 1 to 1.5 inch works for heavy support under drives and pads.
