Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Hamilton address and unloads right where you point.
Crushed concrete often gets confused with crushed stone. The key difference is that crushed concrete is recycled material from demolished concrete, while crushed stone is quarried natural rock. Both are angular and compact well, but crushed concrete costs less per ton.
In Hamilton, about 52 inches of precipitation falls each year. That means drainage and washout need to be in your plan when using crushed concrete.
We stock five crushed concrete sizes for different jobs. Each one suits a specific purpose.
| Product | Best For | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | Good all-purpose option for budget projects. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Use for a smooth finish on paths and driveways. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | Most popular choice for driveways and parking areas. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Provides extra stability for larger loads. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Best for soft ground and temporary access routes. |
The table below matches common projects to the best crushed concrete size. Depth recommendations are general guidelines for Hamilton conditions.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches compacted |
| Grade raising under a slab | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | 6 to 8 inches for stability |
| Backfill behind a wall | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Compact in lifts of 6 inches |
| Driveway base on a budget | Crushed Concrete (general) | 6 inches is typical |
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | 12 to 18 inches on soft ground |
About 72 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That affects when you can schedule delivery onto firm ground. Wet conditions can delay the job if the base is not well drained.
Hamilton sees about 46 days below 32 degrees Fahrenheit each year. That freeze cycle can move the ground, so the work window matters for compacting crushed concrete. Frost is not a significant factor here, so the base layer can be standard depth.
The ground around Hamilton takes in water at a moderate rate. Standard base depth is usually enough to handle typical rainfall without extra drainage. Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is.

Pair crushed concrete with these materials for a complete job.
Yes, but only indirectly. Hamilton averages 46 freezing days each year. If the ground is frozen or muddy, access can be tricky. Gravel Monkey schedules deliveries around weather and keeps you updated on delays.
Not significantly. The freeze season is short enough that frost heave is not a concern. Standard crushed concrete depths work fine. The 46 freezing days mean some ground movement, but a well-compacted base handles it.
You pick a delivery window at checkout: 7 am to 12 pm or 12 pm to 5 pm. The date must be at least 3 business days out. You get a confirmation email, then a second email with the window and a photo of the load. You must approve that email before the truck leaves. Someone must be present during the window.
The 3/4" crushed concrete is the standard choice. It compacts well for driveways, parking pads, and base layers. For heavy loads or soft ground, the 1" to 1 1/2" size is common.
If you are building a driveway or parking pad, crushed concrete is a cost-effective base material. Visit the Hamilton page to start your order online today.
