Crushed Concrete we deliver in Clio
Crushed Concrete in Clio
Crushed concrete is sold by the ton, and a typical base for a driveway or parking area requires several tons. The recycled angular material compacts well and stays in place under pressure.
Clio sees about 148 days each year where the temperature drops below 32F. A base that shifts during freeze-thaw cycles can cause surface problems, so choosing the right crushed concrete size and compacting it properly helps avoid that.
Crushed Concrete Sizes Available in Clio
Each size serves a different purpose. The table below shows the five crushed concrete products you can order, what they are best for, and one key note about each.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | Good for most compacted base applications; cost-effective. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Works as a final wearing surface for light traffic. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | Best all-around size for driveways and parking areas. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Handles heavier loads with less shifting. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Ideal for soft ground and temporary access roads. |
Which Crushed Concrete to Use for Common Jobs

| Grade raising under a slab | Crushed Concrete | Compact 6 inches minimum; adjust for final height. |
Local Conditions That Affect Your Crushed Concrete Job
Clio gets about 34 inches of precipitation a year. That moisture means you need to plan for drainage and possible washout of a loose surface before the crushed concrete is compacted.
About 71 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground reduces the chance of a muddy job site. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall. With roughly 148 freezing days, the ground moves during freeze-thaw cycles, and an unstable base will show it.
Snowfall averages about 41 inches annually. Plowing can damage a loose crushed concrete surface if it hasn't been compacted properly. The ground freezes deep and long here, so the base layer needs to be thick enough to stay stable through the winter. Soils mapped in the Clio area are commonly well drained, which means you may need less base stone under the surface than in heavier clay areas. The ground around Clio is in hydrologic group A, meaning it soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff, so less drainage stone is needed under the surface.
How Much Crushed Concrete You Need
Estimating the tonnage starts with the area and the compacted depth. Use our material calculators to get a quick estimate based on the size of your project and the depth you plan to use.
