Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Dover address and unloads right where you point.
Dover gets about 47 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage and washout planning matter when you put down any base material. Crushed concrete handles it well.
It drains better than many soils and locks together under compaction. That makes it a reliable choice for driveways, pads, and utility access areas around Dover.
Each size of crushed concrete has a specific job. The standard 3/4" size is the most ordered for compacting base work. The other sizes cover finer topping and heavy fill.
| Product | Used for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | All-in-one mix for most base jobs |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Good under pavers or as a binder |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | Best for driveways and heavy traffic |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | For thick lifts under concrete or asphalt |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Fills ruts and builds up low spots |
Match the project to the product and depth. These five examples cover the most frequent uses we see in Dover.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches compacted |
| Driveway base on a budget | Crushed Concrete | 6 to 8 inches with fines |
| Grade raising under a slab | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Fill in lifts, compact each |
| Backfill behind a wall | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Drains well, won't hold water |
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Stays put in mud |
Dover has about 150 days a year that drop below 32F. That shapes the work window. Base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall when the ground isn't freezing and thawing. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall.
About 57 inches of snow falls a year. That matters because plowing can gouge a loose surface. A well-compacted crushed concrete base with a top layer of 3/8" or 3/4" resists that damage better than a loosely graded material.
Ground freezing here is deep and long. That means the base layer needs to go deep enough to stay stable through freeze-thaw cycles. A thicker lift of 3/4" or 1"-1 1/2" crushed concrete helps prevent frost heave under drives and pads.
Tonnage depends on area and depth. A cubic yard of crushed concrete weighs about 1.4 tons, but the exact figure varies by moisture and compaction. Use our material calculators to get a close estimate before you order.

Many customers order these alongside crushed concrete for a complete job.
The amount depends on the area and the depth you need. In Dover, ground freezing is deep and long, so a deeper base is often required. That increases the tonnage. Use our material calculators to get a good estimate before you order.
Yes, we deliver to Dover and many nearby towns. Dover has about 82 wet days a year, so it helps to schedule delivery on a day when the ground is firm. That prevents the truck from rutting your yard.
The driver will place the load as close to the requested spot as safely possible. If access is restricted, they unload at the nearest safe point. You or someone you nominate must be present during the delivery window to direct the driver.
