Crushed Concrete in Charlotte
Crushed concrete is often confused with crushed stone. The big difference is that crushed concrete is recycled from old pavement and costs less per ton. Both are angular and compact well, but for a budget-conscious driveway or pad, crushed concrete is the choice.
Charlotte gets about 36 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage and washout planning matter when you put down crushed concrete. A properly compacted base with the right drainage will hold up better over time.

Charlotte Weather and Soil for Crushed Concrete
Charlotte sees about 76 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling your crushed concrete delivery onto firm ground avoids ruts from the truck. Also, about 145 days a year drop below freezing, which shortens the work window for compaction.
Snowfall averages about 38 inches a year, and plowing can damage a loose crushed concrete surface. Plan to compact thoroughly before winter. Ground freezing here is deep and long, so the base layer needs to be thicker to resist frost heave.
Soils mapped in the Charlotte area are commonly well drained, which means you may need less base stone under the surface layer. The ground around Charlotte is in hydrologic group A, which soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff, so less drainage stone is needed under the surface. Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts.
