Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Cadet address and unloads right where you point.
Crushed concrete comes in several sizes in Cadet, and the right choice depends on your project. A coarse base layer needs larger, angular pieces, while a finished surface calls for finer material. The area gets about 45 inches of rain a year, so drainage and washout planning should guide your size selection.
Choosing the right size also affects how well the material compacts and handles traffic. Smaller particles lock together tightly, while larger stone provides better water flow under heavy loads.
The 3/4" crushed concrete is the most common choice for compacting base layers. It works for driveways, pads, and paths. The table below lists each product and its best use.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | Versatile blend of sizes for many fill and base jobs. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Compact surface suitable for walkways or under pavers. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | Locks together well under load; the go-to for driveways. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Larger stone for load-bearing layers over soft ground. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Bigger pieces for bridging wet spots or building up low areas. |
Each project needs a specific size and depth. The table shows typical jobs and the product and depth that work.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches after compaction |
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | 6 to 12 inches depending on traffic |
| Driveway base on a budget | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches, top with 3/4" if desired |
| Backfill behind a wall | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Compact in lifts, 6 to 12 inches |
| Grade raising under a slab | 3/8" Crushed Concrete | 2 to 4 inches, level and compact |
Cadet gets about 45 inches of rain each year, so drainage and washout planning matter for any crushed concrete surface. With about 73 days a year producing at least a tenth of an inch of rain, scheduling the delivery onto firm ground helps avoid soft spots during installation.
About 104 days a year drop below 32 degrees F. That freeze-thaw cycle can shift an unstable base. Snowfall of about 9 inches a year means plowing can damage a loose surface. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
To figure out how many tons you need, measure the area in square feet and multiply by the depth in inches. Then divide by a conversion factor based on the product density. Use our material calculators to get a precise number for your project.
Order online by the ton, and delivery is priced by ZIP code at checkout. A dump truck brings the material to your address in loads from 1 to 40-plus tons. Use the code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off your first order. You can learn more about Gravel Monkey, read customer reviews, and check delivery details.
The best time is during the warmer months when the ground is not frozen. Cadet experiences moderate ground freezing, so installing the base before frost sets in gives the material time to compact properly.
The tonnage depends on your project's area and depth. Ground around Cadet takes water in at a moderate rate, so a standard base depth is usually enough. Use our material calculators to find the right quantity.
