Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Denton address and unloads right where you point.
Denton receives about 48 inches of precipitation each year. That much rain means drainage and washout planning matter for any aggregate surface. Crushed concrete is an angular, compactable material that locks together well, helping it resist erosion.
Gravel Monkey delivers crushed concrete by the dump truck load to addresses in Denton. You choose the size and quantity online, and the delivered price appears at checkout before you commit. No obligation to buy until you approve the final confirmation email.

About 75 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters. Wet soil under the stone can lead to settling later. Plan for dry weather when you lay the base.
Approximately 83 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. The ground freezing here is real but moderate, so the base layer needs to be thick enough to resist movement. Soils mapped in the Denton area are commonly very poorly drained. That means more base stone under the surface layer may be needed to keep water from pooling in the gravel. The ground around Denton is in dual hydrologic group B/D. Where it is drained it takes water in at a moderate rate; where it is not, it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere.
Crushed concrete is sold by the ton. To estimate how many tons you need, measure the length and width of the area in feet, multiply by the desired depth in inches, and divide by 12 to get cubic feet. Divide that by about 27 to get cubic yards. One cubic yard of crushed concrete weighs roughly 1.4 tons. For accuracy, use our material calculators to get a precise tonnage for your project.

Many customers order crushed concrete along with these materials for a complete job.
The best time is typically spring through fall. About 83 days a year drop below freezing in Denton, which can complicate compaction. Ordering when the ground is not frozen gives better results for a stable base.
The amount depends on the area and depth. For example, a 10x20 foot parking pad at 6 inches deep needs about 5.2 tons. Denton receives about 13 inches of snow per year, so a deeper base helps prevent frost heave in exposed areas.
No, someone must be present at the site during the delivery window to receive the load. Absence can result in a redelivery fee. You can nominate a neighbor or contractor to be on site.
Each size serves a different purpose. Fine 3/8 inch works for leveling and top dressing. Standard 3/4 inch compacts well for base layers. Larger 1 to 1.5 inch sizes provide a heavy base under drives. Two to three inch pieces are for deep fill and mud control.
