Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Saint Charles address and unloads right where you point.
Saint Charles sits in St. Charles County, where homes and small businesses often need a solid, affordable base for driveways, pads, and access paths. About 102 days a year drop below freezing here, which means an unsettled base can heave and shift.
Crushed concrete gives you the same angular load-bearing properties as virgin stone at a lower cost, and you get it delivered in a dump truck to your address.
Crushed concrete comes in several sizes. The piece size determines whether the material works as a compacting base, a leveling layer, or deep fill. The table below lists each option and what it does best.
| Product | Best used for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | Mixed sizes from fines up to about 2 inches. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Works as a thin cover over compacted base. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | Locks together well under traffic. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Handles larger loads without shifting. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Good for filling ruts or building up a soft area. |
Match the project to the right product. The table below pairs typical jobs with the size that gets the best result.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches compacted in lifts |
| Grade raising under a slab | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | At least 6 inches, compacted |
| Backfill behind a wall | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Free-draining, no fines |
| Temporary site access | Crushed Concrete | 12 inches on soft ground |
| Driveway base on a budget | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 6 to 8 inches, compacted |
Saint Charles gets about 43 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage matters. The ground around the area is commonly in hydrologic group C. It takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface, so a deeper drainage layer earns its place under any compacted surface.
Soils mapped in the Saint Charles area are commonly moderately well drained. That area guidance suggests you may need more base stone under the surface layer to keep water from working up into the crushed concrete. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.
About 71 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground avoids sinking the truck or rutting your yard. Also, about 14 inches of snowfall a year means plowing can disturb a loose surface, so a well-compacted top layer resists damage.
Estimate tonnage by the cubic yard. A ton of crushed concrete covers roughly 100 square feet at 2 inches deep, but the exact number depends on compaction and piece size. Use our material calculators to find the right amount for your area and depth.

The smallest load we deliver is 1 ton. That fills about half a cubic yard, enough for a small path or patch. Saint Charles gets about 43 inches of precipitation a year, so a thin layer on wet ground may not hold as well as a deeper base.
Yes, we deliver to Saint Charles and many nearby towns. About 102 days a year drop below freezing here, so we recommend ordering early in the season to avoid frozen ground delays. Our truck comes to your address, not a yard.
No. Someone must be present during the delivery window to accept the load and direct the driver. If nobody is there, a missed delivery or redelivery fee can apply, and the order is not refunded.
Order at least 3 business days before you need the material. The delivery date is chosen at checkout and must fall after that lead time. You confirm the delivery window closer to the date before the truck rolls.
