Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Madison address and unloads right where you point.
Contractors order crushed concrete by the truckload for base fill, while homeowners often need just a few tons for a driveway or pad. Both sides benefit from the same recycled material, but the size and quantity differ. Madison gets about 50 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter for any project.
This page compares the crushed concrete sizes Gravel Monkey delivers to Madison and Jefferson County. You can order online by the ton and choose a delivery window that fits your schedule.
Each size serves a different job. Review the table below and pick the one that matches your work.
| Product | Best use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | Versatile blend for many sub-base needs. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Smooth surface for paths and walkways. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | Most common for driveways and sheds. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Durable layer for vehicle loads. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Large pieces for wet areas and deep base. |
The right size depends on the job. This table matches common projects to the best crushed concrete options.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 inches compacted |
| Backfill behind a wall | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Drains water, prevents pressure |
| Driveway base on a budget | Crushed Concrete (general) | 6 inches, then top with 3/8" |
| Grade raising under a slab | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | 8 to 12 inches for stability |
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | 12 inches, holds heavy equipment |
Around Madison, about 83 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground avoids rutting. Freezing days total about 102 days below 32F, which narrows the work window and means the ground may move if the base is not compacted.
Madison gets about 16 inches of snowfall a year. Plowing can damage a loose crushed concrete surface, so a well-compacted top layer helps. Ground freezing here is real but moderate, which influences how deep the base layer needs to be.
The ground around Madison is in hydrologic group C, meaning it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer earns its place on sites with clay-heavy soil. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.
Estimate your tonnage by measuring the length, width and depth of the area. Gravel Monkey's material calculators convert cubic feet to tons for each size. Enter your dimensions and the calculator gives you the amount to order.

Late spring through early fall is the most reliable window. Freezing days total about 102 days below 32F, so the ground is firm and compaction works best when temperatures stay above freezing. Avoid ordering during winter freeze-thaw cycles if you can wait.
The minimum load is 1 ton. For smaller projects, 1 to 2 tons usually covers a small parking pad or a short path. About 83 days a year bring rain, so ordering early in a dry stretch gives the material time to settle before wet weather.
Choose 3/4" for a compacted base under vehicles. Use 1"-1 1/2" for heavier loads or drainage layers. For deep fill, use 2"-3". For a smooth top surface, order 3/8" as a final coat over a base.
