Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Kirksville address and unloads right where you point.
Adair County properties looking for an economical base material often turn to crushed concrete. Kirksville gets about 42 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning is part of any project using this material.
Crushed concrete is made from recycled pavement, making it a lower-cost alternative to crushed stone. It compacts well and works for drives, pads, and fill.
Crushed concrete comes in several sizes in the Kirksville area. Each size suits a different layer or use.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | Mixed sizes, good for compacting. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Small particles that screed flat. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Standard compacting base size | The most common base for drives and paths. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Larger rock for structural support. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Oversize for wet spots and deep lifts. |
The table below matches typical projects to the right crushed concrete size and recommended depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Grade raising under a slab | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches compacted |
| Parking pad | Crushed Concrete (mixed) | 6 inches base, then 2 to 3 inches of 3/8" top |
| Backfill behind a wall | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Drainage layer, minimum 12 inches |
| Driveway base on a budget | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches after compaction |
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | 12 to 18 inches over soft ground |
Kirksville sees about 130 days each year when temperatures drop below 32F. That freeze-thaw cycle can shift a base that is not deep enough. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer. Planning a thicker base layer helps keep the surface stable.
Soils mapped in the Kirksville area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. The ground around Kirksville takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. That runoff behavior means drainage and a deeper base matter more here than in areas with sandy soil. For any crushed concrete layer that sits on the soil, adding extra base stone underneath can compensate for the slow percolation.
Frost penetrates deep and lingers in this region. A base layer of crushed concrete that extends below the expected frost line reduces heaving. Combining a thick base with proper drainage gives the best long-term performance.
To figure out the tonnage for your Kirksville project, measure the area in square feet and decide on the compacted depth. Use our material calculators to convert length, width, and depth into tons. The calculator also helps you compare depths for base and top layers.

The smallest load is 1 ton. With about 69 wet days a year, scheduling delivery onto firm ground helps avoid the truck sinking or rutting the site.
