Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Kansas City address and unloads right where you point.
Kansas City gets about 43 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage and washout planning matter when you put down a base layer. Crushed concrete is an angular, recycled material that drains well and locks together under compaction.
The material comes from demolished concrete that is crushed and screened to size. It is a practical, budget-friendly choice for driveways, parking areas, and temporary access roads in the Kansas City area.
Our most-ordered option is 3/4-inch crushed concrete, the standard compacting base size. For other needs we stock four additional sizes, each suited to a different part of the job. All are delivered in bulk by the ton.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | An all-purpose recycled product for base work under pavers, slabs and driveways. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Small size for final grading, walkways, and topping gravel drives. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | The most popular size for residential driveway bases, compacts well and stays put. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Larger aggregate for a deep, stable foundation under heavy loads. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | The biggest size for building up low spots and keeping truck traffic out of the mud. |
The table below matches typical project types to the right crushed concrete size and a rough depth guide. Use it to start planning, then confirm quantity with the calculator.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Backfill behind a wall | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Place in lifts of 6 to 8 inches and compact each lift to ensure drainage and stability. |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Spread to a compacted depth of 4 to 6 inches, depending on traffic load. |
| Driveway base on a budget | Crushed Concrete (general) | Compact to a minimum of 4 inches for light vehicles, 6 inches for trucks. |
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | A single lift of 6 to 8 inches provides a firm surface for equipment in wet conditions. |
| Grade raising under a slab | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Fill in layers of 6 inches and compact well before pouring concrete. |
About 63 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That makes scheduling delivery onto firm ground important. A wet, soft yard can rut under the dump truck, so pick a dry stretch for your delivery slot.
Kansas City sees roughly 107 days a year when the temperature drops below 32F. That narrows the work window for placing and compacting crushed concrete, because frozen ground does not compact evenly. Plan your base work between April and October to get good compaction and avoid frost heave later.
Annual snowfall averages about 13 inches. Plowing a loose crushed concrete surface can push material into the grass or expose the subgrade. If you expect to plow, consider capping with a smaller size like 3/8-inch crushed concrete or a top layer of asphalt. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
To figure the number of tons for your project, measure the length, width, and intended depth in feet, then account for compaction. Use Gravel Monkey's material calculators to get a quick estimate based on your dimensions and the product you choose.
Ordering is straightforward. You pick your crushed concrete size and quantity online, enter your Kansas City address, and see the delivered price at checkout. Delivery is by dump truck in loads from 1 to 40+ tons. Free delivery applies on qualifying orders. Use the code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off your first order.
Your delivery date must be at least 3 business days after placing the order. You pick a window: morning (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm). A valid phone number is required so the driver can confirm. You receive an order confirmation by email, then a second email closer to the delivery date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery only proceeds once you approve that email. You or someone you nominate must be present during the window. If no one is there, a missed-delivery fee may apply.

The best time is between late spring and early fall. Kansas City's ground freezing is moderate, but the soil often thaws and firms up by April, so work can start then. Avoid placing crushed concrete on frozen ground; it will not compact properly and can shift when the ground thaws.
Tonnage depends on the depth you plan and the space you need to cover. Jackson County permitted about 1,253 single-family homes in 2024, and many of those projects used crushed concrete for the base. For an accurate estimate, measure your area and use the calculator on this site.
No. You or someone you nominate must be present during the delivery window. The driver needs to confirm the drop location and get approval for the load. If no one is there, a missed-delivery fee may be charged and the order is not refunded.
Each size serves a different stage of construction. The smallest, 3/8 inch, works as a fine top coat or leveling layer. The 3/4-inch size is the standard base for driveways and patios. The 1-to-1.5-inch size goes under heavy slabs and roads. The 2-to-3-inch size is for deep fill and mud control. The general crushed concrete is a blend that can be used for many base applications.
