Buy Crushed Concrete in Saint Louis, Missouri

If you are building a driveway base or raising a slab, crushed concrete gives you a compact, angular fill at a lower cost than virgin stone. The standard compacting size is 3/4" Crushed Concrete; for a finer top dressing under pavers, 3/8" Crushed Concrete works well.

Saint Louis gets about 44 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning matters with any base material. Recycled concrete drains well when properly compacted, reducing washout risk compared to a loose fill.

Crushed Concrete Products Available for Delivery in Saint Louis

Crushed concrete splits into base grades and finish grades. The larger sizes lock together under weight, while the smaller ones give a smoother surface. Every product is sold by the ton and delivered to your address.

Choosing the Right Crushed Concrete for Common Saint Louis Projects

For a tight budget, crushed concrete costs less than crushed stone and still gives you good compaction. For a longer-lasting driveway, a two-layer approach works: a heavy base of 1"-1 1/2" topped with 3/4" Crushed Concrete.

Local Conditions That Affect Your Crushed Concrete Job in Saint Louis

About 72 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain to Saint Louis. That means you will want to schedule your delivery onto firm, dry ground to avoid rutting before the load is spread.

Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. With roughly 97 days below 32F per year, the work window tightens from late fall to early spring. If you place a base before frost season, compact it well so freeze-thaw cycles do not shift the aggregate.

The city averages about 11 inches of snowfall annually. Snow plowing can gouge a loose surface, so a well-compacted top layer of 3/4" Crushed Concrete or a smear of 3/8" helps protect the base. Ground freezing here is real but moderate, which influences how deep the base layer needs to go for stable support under a driveway.

How to Estimate the Amount of Crushed Concrete You Need

Coverage varies by the size of the stone and the depth of the lift. Use our material calculators to convert your square footage and intended depth into the tonnage you should order at checkout.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Concrete in Saint Louis

How many wet days a year should I plan a crushed concrete delivery around in Saint Louis?

Saint Louis sees about 72 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Plan your delivery for a stretch of dry weather so the ground is firm enough for the truck and the material can be spread without turning into mud.

Do winter conditions in Saint Louis affect delivery?

Yes. Roughly 97 days per year drop below 32F, and the city averages about 11 inches of snow. Frozen ground can delay delivery if the access road is icy, and snow plowing after placement can damage an uncompacted surface. Choose a delivery window when the ground is not frozen and the forecast is clear.

What surface does the truck need to reach the drop point?

The truck needs a clear road width of at least 12 feet. If your drive or access path is narrower, the driver will unload as close to the requested spot as safely possible. Debris, low-hanging limbs, and soft ground can also block access.

How do I know how deep to go?

Depth depends on the project and the soil condition. For a passenger-vehicle driveway, 4 inches of compacted crushed concrete over a prepared subgrade is common. Heavier uses like truck parking or building pads need 6 to 8 inches or more. Use the calculator to convert your planned depth into tonnage.
