Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Sturgis address and unloads right where you point.
St. Joseph County has the kind of rolling farmland and quiet subdivisions where a gravel road, a shed pad or a foundation base calls for a material that holds. Crushed concrete fits that need and costs less than virgin stone. Sturgis gets about 39 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning matters for any base material you put down.
Whether you are working on a new build site or a parking area for equipment, crushed concrete delivers the same angular compaction as limestone without the higher price. Gravel Monkey delivers by the ton straight to your address in Sturgis.
Crushed concrete comes in several screen sizes. Each one suits a different stage of the job. Pick the size that matches the depth and purpose of your fill.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | A well-graded mix that contains fines for compaction. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Lightweight and easy to spread, good under pavers. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Standard compacting base size | The go-to size for most driveways and parking areas. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Large angular pieces lock together for load-bearing. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Best for building up low spots and stabilizing wet ground. |
Match the job to the right size. The table below shows what typically works for the projects people in Sturgis tackle most.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Grade raising under a slab | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches compacted in lifts |
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | 6 to 8 inches for heavy equipment |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 inches compacted, then surfaced if desired |
| Backfill behind a wall | 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Drains well and settles little |
| Driveway base on a budget | Crushed Concrete | 6 to 10 inches depending on subgrade |
Sturgis has about 140 days a year when temperatures dip below freezing. That long freeze-thaw cycle can shift a base layer if it is not built deep enough. The ground freezing here is deep and long, so the base needs to extend below the frost line to avoid heaving. Planning your work from late spring through fall gives the best conditions for compaction.
The city averages about 41 inches of snowfall a year. Plowing that snow can damage a loose gravel surface, so a well-compacted crushed concrete base with a top dressing of 3/8" Crushed Concrete holds up better against blade scrapes. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall.
St. Joseph County permitted roughly 102 single-family homes in 2024. If you are building one of those, the crushed concrete base for the driveway and slab can be ordered as soon as the grading is done. Sturgis sees about 79 wet days a year, meaning you want to schedule the delivery onto firm ground to avoid rutting the site.
Crushed concrete is sold by the ton. To figure your tonnage, measure the length and width of the area, multiply by the compacted depth, and convert the cubic yards to weight. Gravel Monkey provides material calculators on the site that do that conversion for you based on your dimensions and the specific product.

Depending on your job, you might also consider these materials. Each one works alongside crushed concrete for different parts of the project.
The minimum delivery is 1 ton. That is enough for small projects like a walkway base or a few yards of backfill. Sturgis gets about 39 inches of precipitation a year, so even a small load should be placed on well-drained ground to keep the material stable.

The 3/4" crushed concrete is the most common size for general base work. It compacts well under driveways, sheds and parking areas. The fines in the mix lock together to create a firm surface.
The sizes range from 3/8" fines up to 2"-3" large rubble. Smaller sizes are used for leveling and top dressing, while larger sizes are for deep fill and load-bearing bases. Each size serves a specific compaction and drainage role.
