Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Ennis address and unloads right where you point.
Putting in a new driveway base or a temporary access road in Ennis means working around deep and long ground freezing. The base layer needs extra depth to stay stable through the freeze-thaw cycle. Crushed concrete is a recycled, compactable material that works well for these jobs.
Two common sizes are 3/4" Crushed Concrete for a standard compacting base and 2"-3" Crushed Concrete for deep fill under the surface. Both are angular and lock together when compacted.
Crushed concrete breaks down into recycled base material and finer top-dressing grades. The table below lists the sizes we deliver in the Ennis area.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | general recycled base material | General-purpose grade; works for base under drives and pads. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | fine top dressing and leveling | Best for a smooth finish on top of a compacted base. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | the standard compacting base size | The most common base size; locks together well when compacted. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | heavy base under drives and pads | Larger pieces give extra load-bearing capacity for heavy traffic. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | deep fill and mud control | For deep fill in wet spots or raising grade before the base layer. |
Choosing a crushed concrete size depends on the project and whether you need a budget option or a long-lasting base. The table below matches common jobs with the recommended size.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway base on a budget | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Compact in lifts for a firm base. |
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Large pieces shed water and support heavy loads. |
| Backfill behind a wall | Crushed Concrete | Compact in lifts to avoid settling. |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Compacted base for light vehicles. |
| Grade raising under a slab | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Stable base for concrete pour. |
Soils mapped in the Ennis area are commonly well drained, which means less base stone is usually needed under the surface layer. The ground around Ennis takes in water at a moderate rate, so a standard base depth is often enough to keep the crushed concrete stable.
Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts. Planning your delivery for late spring or early summer can help avoid soft ground during installation.
Madison County permitted about 11 single-family homes in 2024, a county figure that points to steady new construction. New driveways and access roads in the area benefit from a properly compacted crushed concrete base that can handle the freeze-thaw cycle.
