Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Valrico address and unloads right where you point.
Contractors and homeowners buy crushed concrete for different reasons. A contractor might order it for a temporary haul road, while a homeowner often uses it to build a parking pad or level a shed base. Both get the same material: recycled concrete rubble that compacts into a firm, durable surface.
Valrico gets about 56 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning matters more than in dryer parts of Florida. Crushed concrete drains well and does not wash out like loose fill, which helps when heavy rain comes.
Gravel Monkey carries five sizes of crushed concrete, from fine screening to large chunks. The table below shows which size fits your project.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General base material | A mix of sizes, good for most compacting jobs |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Small particles give a smooth finish |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Standard compacting base | The most popular size for driveways and pads |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Large pieces lock together for strength |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Use where drainage and bulk are needed |
The right size depends on how the ground will be used. The table below matches common jobs with the product that works best.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | 6 to 8 inches on soft ground |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 inches compacted |
| Backfill behind a wall | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Drainage layer, 6 to 12 inches |
| Grade raising under a slab | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches, compacted |
| Driveway base on a budget | Crushed Concrete (mixed) | 6 inches compacted |
Valrico's soils are mapped as well drained, which means water moves through them quickly. That helps if you put crushed concrete over native ground, because the base will not sit in standing water. The ground around Valrico is in hydrologic group A, soaking up rain fast and producing little runoff. That behavior means you usually need less drainage stone under the surface layer than you would in a clay soil area.
Hillsborough County permitted about 4,402 single-family homes in 2024, a county figure that shows how much new construction is happening. New building means new driveways, pads and access roads, many of which use crushed concrete as a low-cost base.
Plan the delivery around dry ground: a truck needs a firm surface to reach the drop point. About 82 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain in Valrico, so scheduling during a dry stretch helps avoid soft patches. The ground rarely freezes here, with about 3 days a year below 32F, so you can order crushed concrete in any season without worrying about frozen soil.
Crushed concrete is sold by the ton. To estimate how many tons you need, multiply the length and width of the area in feet, multiply by the depth in inches, then divide by 20. That rough calculation works for most compacting jobs. For a precise figure, use our material calculators to enter your dimensions and get the exact tonnage.
Ordering is simple: choose your size, enter your Valrico ZIP code at checkout for a delivered price, and pick a delivery window. Gravel Monkey ships by dump truck in loads from 1 to 40 tons or more, and qualifying orders get free delivery. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off your first order.
The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after you order. You select a morning window (7 am to 12 pm) or an afternoon window (12 pm to 5 pm). Gravel Monkey sends a confirmation email, then a second email with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. The delivery goes ahead only after you approve that second email.
You or someone you nominate must be at the site during the window. The truck needs a road at least 12 feet wide to get in. If access is tight, the crew unloads as close to your spot as they safely can. Read the full delivery information for details on cancellations, refunds and inspections.

Crushed concrete works well with other bulk materials. The list below shows what you might need alongside it.
The dry season from November through April offers the most reliable ground conditions. Valrico has about 82 wet days a year, so ordering during the drier months helps ensure the ground stays firm enough for the delivery truck. Plan around a stretch of dry weather for best results.
The smallest load is 1 ton, which is about 0.8 cubic yards. With about 3 freezing days a year in Valrico, the ground rarely freezes, so you can order even a small load in any season without worrying about frozen ground conditions. A 1-ton load fits in a standard dump truck and works for small pads or path repairs.
For a compacted base under a driveway or parking pad, 3/4" crushed concrete is the standard choice. For drainage and bulk fill, use 2"-3" crushed concrete. For a smooth top layer, select 3/8" crushed concrete. The mixed product works well for general fill where appearance does not matter.
