Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Potosi address and unloads right where you point.
Washington County properties that need a budget-friendly base often turn to crushed concrete. Potosi gets about 45 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning are part of any base project.
Crushed concrete compacts into a firm surface and lets water pass through, which helps in a place where the ground takes water in slowly. Most rain here runs across the surface, making a deeper base layer matter more than elsewhere.
Crushed concrete comes in sizes from fine screenings to large fill. The table below shows what each size is used for.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | Works under almost any surface |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Also used as a walking path surface |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | Best for driveways and parking pads on a budget |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Good for areas that must carry frequent traffic |
| 2" - 3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Used for temporary access or soft spots |
Various projects around a Potosi property call for crushed concrete at different depths. The table below matches common tasks to the right size and depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Backfill behind a wall | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Compact in 6-inch lifts |
| Temporary site access | 2" - 3" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches for stability |
| Driveway base on a budget | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches for car traffic |
| Grade raising under a slab | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | 6 to 8 inches for support |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 inches for light vehicles |
Potosi sees about 104 days a year with temperatures below 32F. That freeze cycle can shift an unsettled base, so compaction matters. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.
The county gets about 9 inches of snowfall a year. Plowing that snow can damage a loose surface, another reason to get the base firm. Ground around Potosi is in hydrologic group D, which means it takes water in very slowly. Most rain runs across the surface, so drainage and a deeper base layer matter more than elsewhere. About 73 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground helps avoid ruts.
Estimating how much crushed concrete you need starts with the area and depth. A cubic yard covers roughly 100 square feet at 3 inches deep. Use the material calculators on the site to convert your project dimensions to tons.
