Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Gardnerville address and unloads right where you point.
Soils mapped in the Gardnerville area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. That means water does not move through the ground quickly, so a solid base layer is important for any surface that needs to stay stable. Crushed concrete is a recycled, angular material that compacts well and provides the drainage and load-bearing strength that local conditions call for.
Whether you are building a driveway, a parking pad, or a temporary access road, crushed concrete handles the job at a lower cost than many virgin aggregates. It is produced from demolished concrete, crushed to size, and ready to spread.
The most frequently ordered option for base work in this area is standard Crushed Concrete. It works as a general recycled base material and is well suited to the local soil conditions. The list below covers the full range of crushed concrete products available by the ton.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | Angular, compactable, cost-effective base. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Works as a top layer over larger base stone. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | The go-to size for driveways and parking areas. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Larger stone for extra load-bearing capacity. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Used in thick lifts for poor soil conditions. |
The table below matches common projects to the right crushed concrete product and recommended depth. Use it as a starting point for your order.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches |
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | 8 to 12 inches |
| Backfill behind a wall | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Compact in 6-inch lifts |
| Grade raising under a slab | Crushed Concrete | 6 to 8 inches |
| Driveway base on a budget | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches |
Ground freezing in the Gardnerville area is real but moderate. That means the base layer under a driveway or pad needs to be deep enough to resist frost heave. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
The ground around Gardnerville is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer earns its place here. Crushed concrete, with its open structure, helps move water away from the surface and into the subgrade where it can disperse.
Douglas County permitted about 314 single-family homes in 2024. That county figure points to steady new construction, and each new home needs a stable base for its driveway, parking area, and sometimes a temporary access road. Crushed concrete is a common choice for those projects because it compacts to a firm, durable surface.
The quantity of crushed concrete you need depends on the area you are covering and the depth of the lift. You can use our material calculators to estimate the tonnage required for your project. Simply enter your measurements and the calculator will give you a tonnage figure to use when ordering.
