Buy Crushed Concrete in Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Baton Rouge gets about 66 inches of precipitation a year. That much rain makes drainage planning a priority for any gravel job. A properly compacted base of crushed concrete sheds water away from structures and keeps surfaces firm.

Crushed concrete is recycled material that costs less than virgin stone. It compacts into a solid, angular base that holds up in wet conditions. You order by the ton and we deliver by dump truck to your address.

How Baton Rouge Conditions Affect Your Crushed Concrete Job

Baton Rouge sees about 78 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling delivery onto firm ground matters. About 19 days a year drop below 32F, but the ground does not freeze to any significant depth. The lack of frost means you do not need extra base depth for freeze-thaw movement. Snowfall is about 0 inches a year, so snow plowing damage is not a concern here.

Soils mapped in the Baton Rouge area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. The ground around Baton Rouge falls into dual hydrologic group C/D. Where the site is drained, water soaks in slowly and some runs off. Where it is not drained, most rain runs across the surface. That makes drainage and a deeper base more important here than in many other places. Your specific site conditions determine how much base stone you need under the surface layer.

Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is.

How Much Crushed Concrete You Need for a Job

Estimating tonnage starts with the area and the compacted depth. One ton of crushed concrete covers about 100 square feet at 2 inches deep. Use our material calculators to get a precise number based on your project dimensions and the size you choose.

Frequently Asked Questions about Crushed Concrete in Baton Rouge

When is the best time of year to order crushed concrete in Baton Rouge?

The best time is late spring through early autumn when the ground is driest. Baton Rouge sees about 78 wet days a year, so scheduling in a drier stretch gives the base time to compact before heavy rain. Frost is not a concern here, so winter work is possible if the ground is not saturated.

How many tons of crushed concrete do I need for my project?

The tonnage depends on the area and the compacted depth. Baton Rouge area soils are commonly somewhat poorly drained, which may require a deeper base than drier areas. Use the material calculators on this site to get an accurate estimate for your specific project.

Do you deliver to a job site with no one on it?

No. You or someone you nominate must be present during the delivery window. The crew needs a person to direct the truck to the exact spot and confirm the load. If no one is there, a missed delivery fee can apply and the order is not refunded.

What is the difference between the sizes you stock?

The sizes range from fine to coarse. 3/8-inch crushed concrete is used for a smooth finish on top. 3/4-inch is the standard compacting base for most driveways and pads. The larger 1 to 1.5-inch size is for heavy base work, and 2 to 3-inch material is for deep fill and mud control. The mixed-size Crushed Concrete works well as a general compacting base.
