Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Louisburg address and unloads right where you point.
Contractors order crushed concrete by the truckload for base work and know exactly which size they need. Homeowners often start with a smaller project and learn the material as they go. Either way, crushed concrete works the same: it compacts into a firm, angular base that holds up under traffic.
Louisburg gets about 40 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage and washout planning matter when you put down a base layer. The right crushed concrete starts with choosing the right size for the job.
Crushed concrete comes in a range of sizes, from a fine dust-and-chip blend up to large chunks for deep fill. Each size has a specific use, and the table below shows what each one does best.
| Crushed Concrete | general recycled base material | Mixed sizes, works for most compacted bases under moderate traffic. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | fine top dressing and leveling | Good for topping a base before pavers or for light pathways. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | the standard compacting base size | The go-to for a compacted sub-base under driveways and patios. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | heavy base under drives and pads | Used where extra load-bearing depth is needed before a surface layer. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | deep fill and mud control | Best for filling ruts, building up low spots, or stabilizing wet ground. |
Match the project to the right size. The table below lists five typical uses and what to order.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| backfill behind a wall | Crushed Concrete | Compact in lifts, 6 to 8 inches per lift |
| grade raising under a slab | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches after compaction |
| driveway base on a budget | Crushed Concrete or 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | 6 inches compacted for light vehicles |
| temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | 6 to 12 inches, spread and driven on |
| parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches compacted, top with 3/8" if desired |
About 61 days a year in Louisburg bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling your delivery onto firm ground matters because wet soil can rut under a loaded truck and spoil the base before you spread it. The county also sees about 110 freezing days a year. That cold weather narrows the work window and means the ground can shift as it freezes and thaws.
Snowfall here averages about 10 inches a year. Plowing a loose crushed concrete surface can push material into the grass or create ruts, so a well-compacted top layer holds up better through the winter. Soils mapped in the Louisburg area are commonly moderately well drained. That means you may need more or less base stone under the surface layer depending on your exact spot.
The ground around Louisburg is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer earns its place under driveways and pads to keep moisture from softening the subgrade. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.
Calculating tonnage starts with the area you want to cover and the depth you need. Crushed concrete is sold by the ton, and coverage depends on the size of the material and how tightly it compacts. Use Gravel Monkey's material calculators to estimate your required tonnage based on your project dimensions and chosen product.

You receive an email confirmation when the order is placed, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. The delivery goes ahead only after you approve that second email.
You need to be available during the delivery window, or have someone you nominate on site. If no one is there, a redelivery fee may apply. Learn more on the Delivery Information page. For more about Gravel Monkey, see About Gravel Monkey and Customer reviews.
Crushed concrete is a strong base, but you may need a different material for the surface or for related parts of the job. Here are materials that work well alongside it.
The minimum order is 1 ton. Because Louisburg gets about 40 inches of rain a year, you may want to order a bit extra to account for compaction loss and to have material on hand for patching low spots after the first heavy rain.
