Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Driggs address and unloads right where you point.
Driggs sits in Teton County, a part of Idaho where new construction is steady. In 2024 the county permitted about 266 single-family homes, and many of those properties need driveways, parking pads, or site access. Crushed concrete is a practical base material for these projects because it compacts well and costs less than quarried stone.
Whether you are building a new driveway or adding a parking area, crushed concrete gives you a firm foundation at a lower price per ton. The material is recycled, angular, and locks together when compacted, which makes it a solid choice for Teton County's heavy winterfreeze cycle.
Crushed concrete comes in several sizes, and picking the right one depends on the job. Finer grades work for leveling and topping, while larger pieces handle deep fill and mud control. The table below shows each size and what it does best.
| Product | Best use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | All-purpose grade for most compactable bases under drives and pads. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Ideal for a smooth finish over a compacted base or as a walking surface. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | Best all-around size for driveways, parking areas, and slab bases. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Larger pieces for deeper fill where you need more load distribution. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Good for temporary access roads and soft spots that need bridging. |
Each project has a specific problem to solve, and the right crushed concrete size tackles it. Use this guide to match your issue to the material.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches compacted over a prepared subgrade. |
| Grade raising under a slab | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | 6 to 8 inches for fill that must not settle. |
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | 8 to 12 inches to bridge soft ground. |
| Backfill behind a wall | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Depth varies with wall height; compact in lifts. |
| Driveway base on a budget | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches; top with a surface gravel later. |
Driggs averages about 218 days a year below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. That long freeze cycle shrinks the work season: you want the base compacted and dry before the ground freezes. Deep ground frost also means you may need a thicker base to prevent heaving. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall.
Snowfall runs about 113 inches a year. A plow can scar a loose surface, so plan to pave or top with a harder material before winter if the area will be plowed. The ground around Driggs is in hydrologic group B, meaning it takes in water at a moderate rate. Standard base depth is usually enough to handle drainage, but watch for standing water on site.
Soils mapped in the Driggs area are commonly well drained. That means you might need more or less base stone depending on the exact spot. Check the ground before ordering if you are unsure.
To figure out how many tons to order, measure the area in square feet and multiply by the depth in inches. A cubic yard of crushed concrete weighs about 1.4 tons. For a quick estimate, use our material calculators online to convert square footage and depth into tons.

Crushed concrete makes a great base, but you may need other materials for the surface or adjacent parts of the job. These options work well with it.
The best time is late spring through fall, from about May to October. Driggs gets about 25 inches of precipitation a year, and crushed concrete compacts best when the ground is not saturated. Working in drier weather also avoids delays from wet conditions.
The smallest load is one ton. Driggs has about 129 wet days a year where at least a tenth of an inch of rain falls, so scheduling delivery onto firm ground matters. A single ton covers roughly 40 square feet at 4 inches deep.
It depends on the project. For a compactable base under a driveway or parking area, use 3/4" crushed concrete. For a smooth top dressing, choose 3/8". For deep fill or mud control, go with 2"-3". The product table above gives more detail for each size.
