Crushed Concrete we deliver in Orr
Crushed Concrete in Orr
Crushed concrete is sold by the ton, and even a small driveway or parking pad can require several tons. Orr gets about 28 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter from the start.
Using recycled concrete as a base or surfacing material saves money compared to quarried stone. The angular pieces lock together well under compaction, which helps keep a surface stable through freeze-thaw cycles.

Choosing the right size of crushed concrete depends on your project's needs. Below is a guide to the sizes we offer and what each is best for.

How Orr's Climate Affects Your Crushed Concrete Base
Orr sees about 215 days a year below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. That long freeze cycle makes the ground heave and settle, so a stable base needs to be thick enough to resist movement. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall.
Snowfall averages about 65 inches annually, and plowing can pull up a loose surface if the crushed concrete is not well compacted. The Orr area also gets roughly 66 wet days a year, which means scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is important. Soils mapped in this part of St. Louis County are commonly somewhat poorly drained, so more base stone may be needed under the surface layer than you would use elsewhere.
The ground around Orr is in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where it is drained, water moves through slowly and runoff is higher; where it is not drained, most rain runs across the surface. That makes drainage and a deeper base matter more here than in better-draining soils.
Estimating How Much Crushed Concrete You Need
To calculate the tons required, measure the length and width of your area and decide on a compacted depth. Our material calculators can convert those dimensions into a tonnage estimate for you.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Concrete in Orr
When is the best time of year to order crushed concrete in Orr?
The best time is from late spring through fall. With about 215 days a year below freezing, the ground is frozen solid for much of the winter, making base compaction difficult and delivery scheduling more uncertain.
What is the smallest load of crushed concrete you deliver to Orr?
The smallest load is one ton. In St. Louis County, where about 293 single-family homes were permitted in 2024, one-ton loads are common for smaller projects like a parking pad or walkway.
What size crushed concrete should I choose?
It depends on your project. For a driveway base under cars, 3/4" crushed concrete is the standard. For a top layer you will walk on, 3/8" gives a smoother finish. Heavy bases or mud control call for larger sizes like 2"-3".
Do you deliver to rural addresses outside the city limits?
Yes, we deliver to rural addresses in and around Orr as long as the site has a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck. If access is restricted, the driver unloads as close to the spot as safety allows.
