Crushed Concrete in Lakeside
Crushed concrete comes in several sizes in the Lakeside area, and the size you choose changes what the material can do for your project. For a base that needs to shed water, the fact that Lakeside gets about 25 inches of precipitation a year means planning for drainage and washout should be part of your spec. Knowing your project size and the ground conditions helps you pick the right product for the job.
From fine topping to heavy fill, each size has a purpose. This page covers what we stock, which sizes work for which jobs, and how to order a delivered load to your address.

Lakeside Climate and Ground Conditions for Crushed Concrete
Lakeside gets about 25 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter for any base material. The ground here is underlain by soils that are mapped as well drained, which means less base stone is needed under the surface layer compared to poorly drained sites. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall.
With about 153 days a year dropping below 32F, the work window is limited and the ground moves with freeze-thaw cycles. Snowfall of about 54 inches a year can cause plowing damage to a loose crushed concrete surface if it is not compacted or if it is left as a top layer. That is why compaction and proper base depth are critical, especially for driveways and parking areas. Flathead County permitted about 198 single-family homes in 2024, which tells you many lots are being built, and a crushed concrete base is a common choice for new driveways and work areas.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Concrete in Lakeside
What is the smallest load of crushed concrete you deliver to Lakeside?
Lakeside sees about 153 freezing days a year, so for small projects like a parking pad, a 1-ton load is often enough to get started. We deliver from 1 ton up to 40+ tons. The exact minimum is 1 ton per product.
When is the best time of year to order crushed concrete in Lakeside?
Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall. The winter freeze makes it harder to compact material properly, and waiting until the ground thaws is recommended.
Do you deliver to rural addresses outside the city limits?
Yes, we deliver to your address wherever it is within our service area. The same site access conditions apply: a 12-foot-wide road access is needed for the truck. You choose a delivery window at checkout.
What size crushed concrete should I choose?
The size depends on the job. For a base under a driveway or pad, 3/4 inch Crushed Concrete is the standard. For a top dressing or leveling, use 3/8 inch. For deep fill or mud control, use the 2-3 inch size. Refer to the product table above for guidance.
