Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Aurora address and unloads right where you point.
Contractors often order crushed concrete by the truckload for road bases and parking lots. Homeowners tend to buy it for driveways and leveling jobs, getting a single dump-truck delivery instead of multiple trips.
Aurora gets about 46 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning matters when you put down a recycled base that compacts well but still lets water move through. Understanding the local weather helps you choose the right size and depth.
Crushed concrete is available in five sizes in Aurora, from a fine top dressing to heavy fill. Pick the size that fits your job.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | All-purpose, good for most compacted bases. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Works as a thin surface for walkways or patios. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Standard compacting base size | Most often used under driveways and parking areas. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Provides extra stability for larger vehicles. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Ideal for temporary access roads or filling soft spots. |
The table below matches common projects to the right size and a typical depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | 6 to 8 inches, laid without compaction |
| Backfill behind a wall | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | 12 to 18 inches wide, compacted in lifts |
| Grade raising under a slab | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches, compacted to 95% |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 6 inches compacted over geotextile |
| Driveway base on a budget | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches, top with 3/8" if desired |
Aurora sits in Lawrence County, an area with rural lanes and in-town lots alike. About 69 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling your delivery onto dry, firm ground matters. Spreading crushed concrete in wet conditions can push the material into the subgrade and reduce compaction quality.
The average of 111 freezing days a year below 32F means the work window for base prep runs from late spring through fall. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall. Ground freezing is deep and long, so the base layer beneath a driveway or pad needs to be thick enough to resist frost heave.
Soils in the Aurora area are commonly moderately well drained, which means you may need more base stone under the surface layer if the native ground holds moisture. The ground around Aurora is in hydrologic group C, meaning it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. That behavior makes a deeper drainage layer worth the extra material, especially on flat sites.
To figure out how many tons to order, measure the length and width of the area, decide on a depth (see the table above), and use our material calculators to convert cubic feet to tons. The calculator accounts for compaction waste, so you order the right amount the first time.
Ordering is simple: pick the size and quantity online, pay by the ton, and your delivery price is calculated by ZIP code at checkout. A dump truck brings 1 to more than 40 tons to your address.

Depending on your job, you might combine crushed concrete with another bulk material. Each is available for delivery in Aurora.
Late spring through fall is the most reliable time because the ground is not frozen and rain is less frequent. Aurora averages 111 days a year below freezing, so base work in winter risks poor compaction.
The minimum delivery is 1 ton. Aurora gets about 46 inches of precipitation a year, so ordering a small load for a thin patch job may still require a proper base depth to avoid washouts.
You mark the spot on the property where you want the dumped load. The driver places it as close to that spot as site access allows. If the road is too narrow or blocked, the crew unloads as close as they safely can.
The price is based on the material cost per ton plus a shipping charge calculated by your ZIP code at checkout. You see the total before you place the order.
Order online, choose your delivery window, and a dump truck brings the load to your driveway or job site. No yard pickup, no extra fees at the gate. Start your order on the Aurora city page.
