Crushed Concrete we deliver in Jena
Crushed Concrete in Jena
In LaSalle Parish, many properties need a durable, compactable base for driveways, parking pads, and temporary access. Crushed concrete is a recycled alternative that performs like virgin stone at a lower cost per ton.
Jena receives about 60 inches of precipitation each year, so drainage and washout planning are important when placing a loose material. A well-compacted crushed concrete base handles the moisture well.
Crushed Concrete Sizes Available in Jena
Gravel Monkey delivers crushed concrete in five standard sizes. Each size suits a different layer or job. Choose the one that fits your project.
| Size | Best For | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | All-purpose angular fill that compacts into a firm, load-bearing surface for most projects. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Small particles that spread and screed easily for a smooth finish on paths or under pavers. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | Most popular for driveways and parking areas, it locks together well when compacted. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Larger chunks provide a stable foundation where loads are heavy and drainage is needed. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Oversized material for building up soft ground or creating a mud-free staging area. |
Choosing Crushed Concrete for Common Projects in Jena
Different projects call for different crushed concrete sizes. Here is a guide to matching the material to the job.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Compacted to 4 to 6 inches |
| Driveway base on a budget | Crushed Concrete | Compacted to 6 to 8 inches |
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Placed as a first lift for stability |
| Grade raising under a slab | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Compacted in lifts |
| Backfill behind a wall | 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Used for drainage and easy compaction |
How Jena's Climate Affects Your Crushed Concrete Installations
Jena experiences about 35 freezing days per year, which means the ground can shift as it freezes and thaws. An unsettled base will heave and crack, so thorough compaction is critical. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.
The area's rainfall of about 60 inches a year and about 73 wet days mean the base must drain well. Soils around Jena are mapped as well drained, which helps, but the surface layer still needs to be sloped to shed water. The soil water behavior is group B, taking water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually adequate.
Estimating How Much Crushed Concrete You Need
Tonnage depends on the area and depth you plan to fill. Gravel Monkey's material calculators help you convert square footage and depth into tons. Use the calculator to get a close estimate before ordering.
