Crushed Concrete in Valley
Crushed concrete is often confused with crushed stone, but the main difference is that crushed concrete is recycled and usually costs less per ton. Both are angular and compact well, which makes them good for bases. Valley gets about 33 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter from the start.
The angular shape helps the material lock together, reducing washout in driveways and parking pads. It also suppresses weeds better than rounded gravel. Choosing the right size for your project is straightforward.
Crushed Concrete Sizes Available for Delivery in Valley
Not every crushed concrete product works for every job. Here are the sizes you can order, what they are for, and where they fall short.
| Product | What it is for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | Lacks a defined size range; not for uniform compaction. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Too fine for deep fill; best as a leveling course. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | Not ideal as a finished surface; needs a cap. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Requires at least 4 inches of depth to lock. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Too large for a walking surface; used in bulk. |
Which Crushed Concrete to Use for Common Projects
Match your project to the right crushed concrete size and depth. These recommendations cover typical jobs in Valley.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Grade raising under a slab | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches, compacted in lifts |
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | 6 to 12 inches to stay above mud |
| Driveway base on a budget | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 inches compacted, then cap with 3/8" |
| Backfill behind a wall | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Drainable backfill, compact in 8-inch lifts |
| Parking pad | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches compacted, top with 3/8" |
Valley's Weather and Soil Affect Your Crushed Concrete Job
Valley gets about 33 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter. About 57 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling delivery onto firm ground matters. Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts.
About 140 days a year drop below 32F, which shortens the work window and affects how the ground moves. Snowfall is about 32 inches a year, and plowing can damage a loose surface. Ground freezing here is deep and long, so the base layer needs to be thick enough to resist frost heave.
Soils mapped in the Valley area are commonly somewhat poorly drained, so you may need more base stone under the surface layer. The ground around Valley is in hydrologic group C, meaning it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer earns its place in these soils.
How to Figure Out How Much Crushed Concrete You Need
To estimate your tonnage, measure the length and width of the area in feet and the desired depth in inches. Multiply them to get cubic feet, then convert using the material density. A quick way to get the number is to use our material calculators, which handle the math for you. You order by the ton on the product page.
