Local Conditions That Affect Crushed Concrete Use in Taylorville

Taylorville gets about 40 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage and washout planning are important for any crushed concrete surface. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is easier in dry periods.

With about 114 days a year below freezing, the work window is limited. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer. Soils mapped in the Taylorville area are commonly somewhat poorly drained, so you may need more base stone under the surface layer.

The ground around Taylorville is in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where it is drained it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface; where it is not, it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. This means drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere. It depends on how well your site drains.

Estimating How Much Crushed Concrete You Need

To estimate the tons you need, multiply the area length and width in feet, multiply by the depth in feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. A cubic yard of crushed concrete weighs about 1.4 tons. Use our material calculators to get a precise estimate for your Taylorville project.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Concrete in Taylorville

Does the ground in Taylorville freeze hard enough to change when I should order?

Yes. Taylorville sees about 114 days a year below 32F, and ground freezing here is deep and long. Order crushed concrete after the ground thaws in spring or before it freezes in fall for best compaction.

Is Taylorville wet enough that drainage should drive the choice?

Yes, with about 40 inches of precipitation a year and soils that are commonly somewhat poorly drained, drainage is a key factor. Crushed concrete's angular particles lock together and shed water better than rounded gravel.

Is crushed concrete as good as crushed stone for a base?

For most base applications, crushed concrete works as well as crushed stone. It is recycled and costs less per ton. Both are angular and compact well.

How deep should the layer be for a job that carries vehicles?

For vehicle loads, a compacted layer of 4 to 6 inches of 3/4" crushed concrete is typical. For heavier traffic or soft subgrade, go to 8 inches or more of a larger size like 1"-1 1/2".
