Buy Crushed Concrete in Saint Clair, Missouri

Crushed concrete is recycled pavement and structure rubble that costs less per ton than virgin stone. In Saint Clair, about 105 days a year drop below freezing, which can lift and settle the ground enough that a deeper base layer may be needed to hold a surface flat.

What you pay per ton delivered depends on the total weight your project requires and your specific ZIP code, which the checkout calculates after you enter your address.

How Saint Clair Weather and Soil Affect Your Crushed Concrete Job

Saint Clair gets about 44 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage under a gravel surface needs to be planned. The ground around Saint Clair is mapped in hydrologic soil group C, which takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. That means a deeper drainage layer of crushed concrete earns its place to keep water from pooling on the base.

About 72 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling delivery onto firm ground is easier during a dry stretch, but wet weather can soften access. A loose surface like crushed concrete can also be damaged by plowing about 11 inches of annual snowfall, so consider a final lift of finer material that can be patched easily.

Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. With ground freezing that is real but moderate, the base layer needs to be thick enough that movement does not crack a paved top surface later. Franklin County permitted about 501 single-family homes in 2024, meaning many new driveways and pads go in across the county.

How Much Crushed Concrete You Need

To figure out how many tons to order, measure the length and width of the area in feet and choose the depth you plan to compact. Gravel Monkey's material calculators do the math for you: enter the dimensions, pick crushed concrete, and the calculator gives the tonnage. Over-ordering by about 10 percent accounts for compaction and spreading loss.

Frequently Asked Questions about Crushed Concrete in Saint Clair

Does the ground in Saint Clair freeze hard enough to change when I should order?

Yes. About 105 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, and the ground freezes to a moderate depth. That freeze-thaw movement can unsettle a shallow base. Ordering crushed concrete early in the season or after the frost is out gives the material time to settle before full traffic begins.

Is Saint Clair wet enough that drainage should drive the choice?

Yes. The area gets about 44 inches of precipitation a year, and the soil takes water in slowly, so surface runoff is common. A crushed concrete base made with a coarse, open-graded size like 2 to 3 inch material can help move water away from the surface and reduce washout.

Is crushed concrete as good as crushed stone for a base?

Crushed concrete is recycled and costs less per ton than crushed stone. Both are angular and compact well to form a stable base. For light to medium loads, crushed concrete performs the same as crushed stone. For very heavy traffic, some contractors prefer virgin stone for its higher density.

How deep should the layer be for a job that carries vehicles?

The depth depends on the soil strength and the weight of the vehicles. A typical base for passenger cars is 4 to 6 inches of compacted crushed concrete, while truck traffic may need 8 to 12 inches. Your local conditions and expected load determine the final depth.
