Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Adrian address and unloads right where you point.
Lenawee County properties, from new construction sites to older farm lanes, often need a hard-wearing base that does not cost more than it should. Crushed concrete fills that role without the price of virgin stone. Adrian gets about 36 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter for any crushed concrete job.
Homeowners and contractors order crushed concrete by the ton for projects large and small. The material is crushed from old concrete pavement and structures, then screened to size. It works the same as crushed stone but at a lower cost per ton.
Crushed concrete is sold in several sizes for different purposes. The size you choose depends on the layer and the load it needs to carry.
| Product | What it is for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | Good all-purpose choice for drives and pads |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Works well under pavers or as a walking surface |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | Most common for driveway bases and under slabs |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Handles larger loads and prevents rutting |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Ideal for wet areas and large voids |
Crushed concrete solves common site problems. The table below matches a project to the right product and depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches after compaction |
| Driveway base on a budget | Crushed Concrete | 4 inches compacted, then a surface layer |
| Grade raising under a slab | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | 8 to 12 inches for a stable fill |
| Backfill behind a wall | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Drains well; compact in lifts |
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | 6 to 12 inches; handles heavy equipment |
Adrian has about 77 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling a delivery onto firm ground avoids compaction problems. The county gets about 33 inches of snow annually, so snowplowing can scrape a loose surface if it is not sealed or top-dressed.
Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall. About 148 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, which shortens the work window for compacting and curing. Ground freezing in Adrian is deep and long, meaning a thicker base layer is needed to prevent frost heave under a driveway or pad.
Soils mapped in the Adrian area are commonly moderately well drained. That implies a good base of crushed concrete helps keep the surface stable. Ground around Adrian is in hydrologic group C, which takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer of coarse crushed concrete earns its place under the finished grade.
Estimating tonnage starts with measuring the area and multiplying by the desired depth. A cubic yard of crushed concrete weighs about 1.4 tons. Use the Gravel Monkey material calculators to convert your measurements into tons before you order.

Crushed concrete works well alone, but other materials can improve certain jobs.
The best time is late spring through fall, when the ground is not frozen and compaction is easier. About 148 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit in Adrian, so winter work often requires a deeper base and careful scheduling around freezes.
The smallest load is 1 ton. In Lenawee County, about 160 new single-family homes were permitted in 2024, and crushed concrete is a common choice for base material on those projects.
