Buy Crushed Concrete in Crosby, Minnesota

Crushed concrete is a recycled base material that works well for driveways, parking pads, and temporary access roads. Crosby gets about 30 inches of precipitation a year, so planning for drainage and washout matters when you install any compacted surface.

Gravel Monkey stocks five crushed concrete sizes, each suited to a different job. The size you choose changes how the material compacts, how much base you need, and where it works best.

Crushed Concrete Sizes We Offer in Crosby

Most orders from this area call for the standard 3/4-inch crushed concrete, which works as a compactable base under driveways and slabs. The table below lists each size and what it does best.

Matching Crushed Concrete to Your Crosby Project

The table below shows which product to order for five common projects and the depth to plan for.

Crosby Climate and Its Effect on Crushed Concrete Work

Crosby experiences about 178 freezing days each year, which means the ground freezes deep and stays frozen for a long stretch. That frost depth forces the base layer under any slab or drive to be thick enough to resist heaving when the thaw comes.

The area gets about 43 inches of snowfall annually. Plowing a loose crushed concrete surface can rut it if the base is not fully compacted. Plan to let the surface settle before winter, or use a larger size like 1 to 1.5 inch that locks together better.

Soils mapped in the Crosby area are commonly well drained, so the amount of base stone you need under the surface layer can be adjusted downward compared to heavy clay sites. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall.

Crushed concrete is sold by the ton, and the volume per ton varies by size. Use our material calculators to convert your square footage and depth into an approximate tonnage. Enter the area and the depth you plan to use, and the calculator will give you a number for ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions about Crushed Concrete in Crosby

When is the best time of year to order crushed concrete in Crosby?

The best time is late spring through fall, when the ground is thawed and the weather is dry enough for compaction. With about 60 wet days a year, scheduling the delivery onto firm ground makes a difference in the base quality.

Is Crosby a wet enough area to worry about washout?

Crosby gets around 30 inches of precipitation annually, which is enough to cause washout on a fresh, uncompacted surface. Planning drainage and sloping the final grade away from structures helps prevent erosion before the material locks in place.

How is crushed concrete measured and sold?

Crushed concrete is sold by the ton. A ton occupies roughly 1.1 to 1.3 cubic yards depending on the particle size and moisture content.

Do you take orders from businesses as well as homeowners?

Yes, Gravel Monkey delivers to both residential and commercial addresses in Crosby and across Crow Wing County. The same online ordering process applies.
