Crushed Concrete in Garden City
The delivered cost of crushed concrete depends on how much you order and where the nearest supplier is located. A well-chosen size and depth keep you from paying for material you do not need. Garden City gets about 20 inches of precipitation a year, so planning for drainage and washout helps your base last longer.
This page lays out the crushed concrete sizes available, the jobs they suit, and how to get them delivered to your address by dump truck. You choose the date three business days out, and you see the total before you order.
Crushed Concrete Sizes Available in Garden City
Not every size works for every job. Picking a material that is too fine for a heavy base can lead to shifting, and using a large rock where you need a smooth finish makes extra work. The table below matches each size to its best use and gives a quick note on what it does not do well.
| Product | Best Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | Not suitable for fine grading without screening. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Too thin for heavy loads or deep fill. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | Not ideal for mud control in wet areas. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Does not provide a smooth walking surface. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Too large for a finished driving surface. |
Selecting Crushed Concrete by Project Type
Each project has a recommended crushed concrete size and depth. The table below shows which product fits five common applications in and around Garden City.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway base on a budget | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches compacted |
| Parking pad | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | 6 inches for light vehicles |
| Backfill behind a wall | Crushed Concrete | Compact in 8-inch lifts |
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | 6 to 8 inches over mud |
| Grade raising under a slab | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 inches minimum before concrete |
How Garden City's Climate Affects Your Crushed Concrete Base
Finney County permitted about 35 single-family homes in 2024. That new construction means more driveways, pads, and foundations going in. With about 140 days a year below freezing and 18 inches of snowfall, the ground freezes deep and stays frozen for a long stretch. A base that is too thin can heave when it thaws. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer.
Only about 36 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling delivery onto firm ground is usually straightforward. But soils mapped in the Garden City area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. That means more base stone under the surface layer can help keep the top dry. The ground around Garden City takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface, so a deeper drainage layer earns its place.
Frost heave and plowing damage to a loose surface are real concerns. A heavier base, such as 1"-1 1/2" or 2"-3" crushed concrete, resists movement better than a thin layer of fines.
How Much Crushed Concrete You Need
Tonnage depends on the area you are covering and the compacted depth you want. A delivery of 1 ton of 3/4" material usually covers about 100 square feet at 2 inches deep before compaction. Use our material calculators to enter your dimensions and see the estimated tons. Order a little extra for compaction loss, especially on deeper fills.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do winter conditions in Garden City affect delivery?
Yes. With about 140 freezing days a year, the ground can be hard and uneven. The truck needs firm, clear access. Plowing or shoveling the delivery path ahead of time helps. Frozen or snow-covered surfaces do not affect the material itself, but the driver may need extra space to maneuver.
Does the length of the freeze season in Garden City change what I should order?
Yes. The freeze season is long, with about 140 days below 32F. A deeper base resists frost heave better. For driveways and pads, choose 3/4" or 1"-1 1/2" crushed concrete and compact it properly. A thin layer of 3/8" material can shift when the ground thaws.
How does delivery scheduling work after I order?
You pick a delivery date at least three business days after the order is placed. Your options are a morning window, 7 am to 12 pm, or an afternoon window, 12 pm to 5 pm. You receive a confirmation email, then a second email with a photo of the load. Delivery only proceeds after you approve that second email. Someone must be on-site during the chosen window.
Which size is the most common choice for this material?
3/4" Crushed Concrete is the most common size for general base work. It compacts well, drains adequately, and works under driveways, parking pads, and slabs. For deeper fills or mud control, 2"-3" crushed concrete is used instead.
