Crushed Concrete in Alexandria
You order crushed concrete by the ton online from Gravel Monkey, and a dump truck delivers a single load to the spot you mark on your property. The driver places the pile right where you indicate, as long as the truck can reach it safely.
Alexandria gets about 45 inches of precipitation a year, so planning drainage around your crushed concrete surface helps keep the material in place during heavy rain. That extra attention to runoff is worth the effort.
Crushed concrete sizes available for delivery in Alexandria
Crushed concrete comes in several sizes. The larger grades work as a compacting base, while the finer grades serve as a top dressing or leveling course. The table below lists each size and its typical use.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | A versatile option for many base and fill applications. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Best for paths and as a final surface for light traffic. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | The most common choice for driveways and parking areas. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Use under concrete slabs or heavy equipment pads. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Ideal for building up low spots and stabilizing soft ground. |
Which crushed concrete to order for common projects in Alexandria
For short-term use or long-term driveways, the choice of crushed concrete size affects how well the job holds up. The table below matches project types with the best material and installation depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Temporary site access | Crushed Concrete or 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches; budget option using larger stone for traction |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 inches compacted; standard base for light vehicle parking |
| Backfill behind a wall | 3/4" Crushed Concrete or 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | As needed; drains well and compacts firmly against the wall |
| Grade raising under a slab | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | 6 to 12 inches; fills deep areas and provides a stable subgrade |
| Driveway base on a budget | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches; costs less than crushed stone but compacts similarly |
Alexandria climate and how it affects your crushed concrete installation
Alexandria has about 80 wet days a year, meaning days with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That many wet days means the ground can be soft when you schedule delivery, so it helps to aim for a dry stretch to keep the truck from getting stuck.
About 102 days a year drop below freezing, and the ground freezes moderately. That freeze-thaw cycle can shift an unseated base, so compaction during the build is critical. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.
Snowfall averages about 16 inches a year, and plowing can disturb a loose crushed concrete surface; a well-compacted base resists that damage. Soils mapped in the Alexandria area are commonly well drained, meaning less base stone is needed under the surface layer. The ground around Alexandria soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff, so you can reduce drainage stone under the surface as well.
Estimating how many tons of crushed concrete your Alexandria project needs
To calculate the tonnage, measure the area in square feet and multiply by the depth in feet, then divide by 9 to get approximate tons for crushed concrete. Use our material calculators to do the math quickly and adjust for compaction losses.

Frequently asked questions about buying crushed concrete in Alexandria
Does the ground in Alexandria freeze hard enough to change when I should order?
Yes. Alexandria sees about 102 days per year with temperatures below freezing. The ground freezes moderately, so it is best to order crushed concrete for base work during the warmer months when the ground is not frozen.
How many wet days a year should I plan a crushed concrete delivery around in Alexandria?
Alexandria has about 80 wet days each year, meaning days with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Plan your delivery for a dry stretch to ensure the ground is firm enough for the truck and the material compacts properly.
Where will the driver put the load?
The driver will place the crushed concrete in the spot you indicate when you place the order, as long as the truck can access it safely. You or someone you nominate must be present during the delivery window to direct the driver.
Is crushed concrete as good as crushed stone for a base?
Crushed concrete is a recycled material that compacts well and costs less per ton than crushed stone. Both are angular and interlock when compacted, making crushed concrete a good choice for base layers in driveways and parking pads.
