Buy Crushed Concrete in Florence, Montana

The delivered cost of crushed concrete in Florence depends on the tonnage you order and how far the truck comes from the supplier. With about 15 inches of precipitation a year, the material stays dry and stable on site, which makes it a good base in a climate where drainage is not the main concern.

Contractors and homeowners both use crushed concrete because it compacts hard and costs less than virgin stone. The price per ton drops as the load size increases, so ordering for the whole job saves money.

Crushed Concrete Sizes for Florence Jobs

Not all crushed concrete works for every job. The fines content and the top size decide where the material performs and where it does not. The table below lists each size we carry in the Florence delivery area.

Which Job Calls for Which Crushed Concrete

The table below matches common Florence projects to the crushed concrete that handles them. Depth recommendations assume a stable subgrade.

Florence Weather and Ground Conditions

Florence's 165 freezing days and deep ground frost limit the months when you can place crushed concrete. Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts. Planning for a fall installation before the ground freezes gives the material time to compact and settle.

Soils mapped in the Florence area are commonly excessively drained, which means less base stone is needed under the surface layer. The ground around Florence is in hydrologic group A, which soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff, so additional drainage stone under the crushed concrete is usually unnecessary.

With about 43 inches of snowfall a year, plowing can damage a loose crushed concrete surface. A well-compacted layer with fines and at least 4 inches of depth helps the surface hold up to a plow blade. A thicker base of 6 to 8 inches is safer if the driveway is plowed regularly.

How Much Crushed Concrete You Need

To estimate the tons required, measure the area in square feet, multiply by the depth in feet, and divide by the cubic feet per ton for the specific product. Use Gravel Monkey's material calculators to get a quick tonnage estimate for any size project.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Yes. The ground here freezes deep and long, with about 165 days a year below 32F. That means you should place crushed concrete before the ground freezes or after it thaws completely in spring.

Is Florence wet enough that drainage should drive the choice?

Florence gets about 15 inches of precipitation a year, and the ground soaks it up quickly because local soils are in hydrologic group A. Drainage is not the main concern, but spring thaw can expose thin bases.

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

Crushed concrete is recycled and costs less per ton. Both are angular and compact well. For vehicle-load bearing, crushed stone is slightly more durable, but crushed concrete works for most residential base applications.

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

For driveways and parking pads, a compacted depth of 4 to 6 inches of crushed concrete is typical. Heavy truck traffic or weak subgrades may require 8 to 12 inches. The exact depth depends on the subgrade strength and the load.
