Crushed Concrete in Ottawa
Contractors buy crushed concrete by the truckload for a known job. Homeowners often order it once and want a surface that will last. Both are looking for a compacting base that does not cost as much as virgin stone.
Ottawa sees about 39 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter no matter which side of the market you are on.

Local Factors That Affect Your Crushed Concrete Job in Ottawa
Ottawa sits in LaSalle County, where about 129 days a year drop below freezing. That freeze-thaw cycle pushes the ground, and a deep base layer keeps the crushed concrete from shifting.
With around 25 inches of snowfall a year, plowing can dig into a loose surface. A compacted top coat of 3/8 inch material helps prevent that damage. Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts.
Soils in the Ottawa area take water in slowly, so a fair amount runs off the surface. That makes a deeper drainage layer under your crushed concrete worth the extra material.
How to Estimate How Much Crushed Concrete You Need
A ton of crushed concrete covers roughly 100 square feet at 2 inches deep, but every project is different. Use Gravel Monkey's material calculators to figure your exact tonnage before you order.
