Buy Crushed Concrete in Burlington, Iowa

A load of crushed concrete works as a base for driveways, parking pads, and temporary access lanes. You buy it here by the ton, online, and we deliver it to your address in Burlington in a dump truck.

Burlington gets about 39 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter when you choose a base material. Crushed concrete drains well and locks together under compaction.

Which Crushed Concrete to Use for Common Jobs in Burlington

Match the project to the right product. The table below shows the typical order.

How Burlington's Climate Affects Your Crushed Concrete Job

Burlington sees about 69 wet days a year, meaning you have to schedule the delivery onto firm ground. About 122 freezing days each winter mean the work window is shorter than warmer areas. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer.

Snowfall runs about 20 inches a year, and plowing can damage a loose surface. That makes a well-compacted crushed concrete base a better choice than loose gravel.

Soils around Burlington take water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. That increases the need for good drainage and a thicker base layer under pavement or pads.

How Much Crushed Concrete You Need for a Job

Calculate the volume of your project area in cubic feet, then convert to tons. Crushed concrete weighs roughly 1.4 tons per cubic yard when compacted. Use Gravel Monkey's material calculators to estimate the tonnage for your specific dimensions.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Yes. Burlington has about 122 days a year below freezing, and the ground freezes deep and long. That means the best time to order crushed concrete for a new base is late spring through early fall, before the ground freezes or after it thaws fully.

Is Burlington wet enough that drainage should drive the choice?

Yes. Burlington gets about 39 inches of precipitation a year, and soils in the area take water in very slowly. Most rain runs across the surface, so drainage and a thicker base layer matter more than in drier zones. Crushed concrete allows water to pass through and reduces washout.

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

Crushed concrete is a recycled alternative to crushed stone. Both are angular and compact well, but crushed concrete costs less per ton. For most base jobs under driveways, pads, and backfill, crushed concrete performs the same as crushed stone.

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

For a driveway or parking pad that carries cars and trucks, a compacted layer of 4 to 6 inches of 3/4" Crushed Concrete is typical. For heavier loads or softer ground, increase the depth to 8 to 10 inches using a larger size like 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete.
