Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Palm City address and unloads right where you point.
Many buyers of crushed concrete focus only on the price per ton. They overlook how much the local climate affects the material's performance. In Palm City, the area gets about 61 inches of rain a year, which means drainage and washout planning are essential before the truck arrives.
The right approach is to pair the right grade of crushed concrete with a well-prepared base. This material compacts firmly and works well for driveways and pads. But only if you plan for the water it will shed.
Crushed concrete comes in several grades for different layers of a project. The coarser sizes form the base, while the finer grades top and level the surface. Each size has a specific role, and picking the wrong one is a common mistake. The table below lists the crushed concrete options available through Gravel Monkey.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | Compactable fill for under pavers and slabs |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Spreads thin and smooths out |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Standard compacting base size | The workhorse for most base layers |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Larger rocks lock together well |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Used where you need to build up a soft area |
Crushed concrete is often chosen as a budget-friendly base material. For each project, you can select the size that matches your timeline and expected load.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Parking pad | 6" to 8" of 3/4" Crushed Concrete then 2" of 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Compact each lift |
| Temporary site access | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | 12" minimum depth on soft ground |
| Driveway base on a budget | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 6" compacted depth typical |
| Backfill behind a wall | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Drainable and compactable fill |
| Grade raising under a slab | Crushed Concrete or 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Depends on fill depth |
Palm City has about 92 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means scheduling the delivery around firm ground is important. If the ground is wet, the truck may struggle to reach the drop point. Plan the delivery around dry ground: a truck needs a firm surface to reach the drop point.
The area also sees about 1 day a year below freezing. That freeze-thaw cycle is minimal, but it can cause the ground to move slightly. A well-compacted base of crushed concrete handles that movement better than loose fill.
Soils mapped in the Palm City area are commonly poorly drained. Where the ground is drained, it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. Where it is not drained, most rain runs across the surface. That means drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere.
Estimating tonnage starts with the area and depth of the planned base. Crushed concrete is sold by the ton, and you can use Gravel Monkey's material calculators to figure the right amount for your project.

Plan around the 92 wet days a year. That means scheduling the delivery onto firm ground when the soil is dry enough to support a heavy truck. Check the forecast before choosing a delivery date.
The driver will place the load as close to the requested spot as safely possible, given the 12-foot width needed for the truck. You need to be present to direct the driver.
Crushed concrete is a good base material for many projects. It is recycled and costs less per ton than crushed stone. Both are angular and compact well, so for a base that will get a surface layer, crushed concrete is a budget-friendly choice.
