Crushed Concrete in Hays
Crushed concrete comes in several sizes for different jobs. The size you choose changes how the material performs under load and in drainage. Hays gets about 25 inches of precipitation a year, so planning for washout is part of getting the job right.
For a compacted base, angular crushed concrete binds together well. For a topdressing, a finer size gives a smoother surface.
Crushed Concrete Sizes Available for Hays
The most-ordered crushed concrete for base work in Hays is 3/4" Crushed Concrete. It compacts into a firm, stable layer suitable for driveways and parking pads. Other sizes cover jobs from heavy fill to leveling.
| Size | Best For | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | Works for many projects where a compactable base is needed. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Use under pavers or as a final grade layer. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | Compacted for driveways and parking pads. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Provides a thick, stable foundation for heavy loads. |

Local Conditions and How They Affect Crushed Concrete Work in Hays
Soils mapped in the Hays area are commonly well drained, so the base layer under crushed concrete can often be shallower than in poorly drained areas. The ground around Hays takes water in at a moderate rate, meaning a standard base depth is usually enough to handle runoff.
Hays gets about 25 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter. With about 142 days a year dropping below freezing, the work window for base compaction is limited to warmer months. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall. The deep and long frost means the base layer needs to be thick enough to resist heaving.
Snowfall here averages about 15 inches a year, so plowing can damage a loose crushed concrete surface if it has not been compacted well.
