Crushed Concrete we deliver in Bunker Hill
Crushed Concrete in Bunker Hill
Bunker Hill gets about 42 inches of precipitation a year. That makes drainage and washout planning critical for any gravel surface. A well-compacted crushed concrete base sheds water and stays put better than loose fill.
Crushed concrete is recycled material that packs tight and drains well. It works for driveways, parking pads, and temporary access roads in this climate. The angular edges lock together and resist shifting in wet conditions.
Crushed Concrete Sizes Available for Delivery in Bunker Hill
The 3/4 inch Crushed Concrete is the standard compacting base size that most orders start with. It locks together firmly and handles the freeze-thaw cycles typical of the area. The other sizes serve more specific jobs, from fine topping to deep fill and mud control.
| Product | Best use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | All-purpose blend for driveways and pads |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Covers and smooths the surface of an existing base |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | Best all-around choice for a stable, drained base |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Handles truck traffic and soggy ground better |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Bridging stone for soft spots and access roads |

How Bunker Hill Weather and Soil Affect Your Crushed Concrete Job
Macoupin County is mostly rural with small towns like Bunker Hill scattered through it. The county permitted about 59 single-family homes in 2024, which means new driveways and pads are going in. The local climate and ground conditions directly affect how crushed concrete performs.
Bunker Hill sees about 102 days a year where the temperature drops below 32F. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. Ground freezing here is real but moderate, so a base depth of 4 to 6 inches generally handles the movement for car traffic. The 42 inches of annual rainfall means the surface needs to shed water fast.
Soils mapped in the Bunker Hill area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. That is area guidance based on the typical soil survey, not a prediction for any one lot. The ground around Bunker Hill is in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where the lot is drained, water soaks in slowly and a fair amount runs across the surface. Where it is not drained, most rain runs across the surface. Either way, drainage and a deeper base matter more here than in many other places.
Estimating How Much Crushed Concrete You Need
A ton of 3/4 inch crushed concrete covers roughly 100 square feet at a 2 inch depth when compacted. For a 6 inch base on a standard driveway, you need about three times that tonnage. Measure the length and width of your area in feet, decide on the compacted depth, and use the material calculators on the Gravel Monkey site to get a tonnage estimate before you order.
