Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Artesia address and unloads right where you point.
A driveway base, a parking pad, or a temporary site access road all need a stable foundation. Crushed concrete from Gravel Monkey is a recycled, angular material that locks together under compaction, making it a solid choice in Artesia.
The soils mapped in the Artesia area are commonly well drained, which means the base thickness can usually stay standard. That saves time and keeps the project moving.
Gravel Monkey carries five common sizes of crushed concrete. Each size fits a specific job, from a fine top dressing to heavy fill for wet ground.
| Product | What it is for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | Compacts well and resists settling in most applications. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Ideal for pathways and paver bedding. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | Common for driveways and heavy-duty pads. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Needed where extra thickness is required for load bearing. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Used for temporary access or wet-area stabilization. |
Crushed concrete works well as a budget-friendly base or a permanent layer. For projects where you want a long-term surface, pair a compacted base with a finer top course.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches after compaction |
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | 6 to 8 inches, no compaction needed |
| Grade raising under a slab | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | 6 to 12 inches depending on fill depth |
| Driveway base on a budget | Crushed Concrete | 4 inches after compaction |
| Backfill behind a wall | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Compacted in lifts of 6 inches |
Artesia gets about 13 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning are important for any crushed concrete surface. With only about 26 wet days a year, you can typically schedule the delivery onto firm ground without long delays.
Soils in the Artesia area are commonly well drained, which means the base layer does not need extra depth for drainage. The ground around Artesia is in hydrologic group B, meaning it takes water in at a moderate rate, so a standard base depth is usually sufficient.
About 81 days a year drop below freezing, so the work window is influenced by cold weather, but frost is not a significant factor here. Snowfall is about 4 inches a year, which can cause plowing damage to a loose crushed concrete surface if it is not compacted. Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is.
Measure the length and width of the area, decide on the depth, then multiply length times width times depth in feet and divide by 27 to get cubic yards. Crushed concrete weighs about 1.3 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard, depending on size and moisture. Use the material calculators on our site to get an accurate estimate for your project.
Ordering crushed concrete from Gravel Monkey is straightforward. You select the product and quantity online by the ton, and the delivery price is calculated for your ZIP code at checkout. A dump truck delivers the load right to your address, with typical loads ranging from 1 to over 40 tons. Delivery is free on qualifying orders, and first-time customers can use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off.
You choose a delivery window: morning (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm). The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You need to be present during the window, or have someone you nominate there. You get an email confirmation and then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email. If the delivery cannot be completed due to blocked access, hazards, or nobody being there, a missed delivery fee may apply.

Crushed concrete often works with other materials on the same job. These products are available for delivery to Artesia.
No. About 81 days a year drop below freezing, but frost is not a significant factor here. The ground does not freeze hard enough to affect the subgrade, so you can order crushed concrete in any season as long as the ground is not saturated.
Artesia sees about 26 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Plan your delivery for a dry period so the ground is firm enough for the truck and for compaction.
The smallest, 3/8", is a fine top dressing for pathways and paver bedding. The 3/4" size is the standard compacting base for driveways and pads. The 1" to 1 1/2" size is for heavy base layers where extra thickness is needed. The 2" to 3" size is for deep fill and mud control. The general Crushed Concrete is a blend of sizes for general base work.
No. You or someone you nominate must be at the site during the delivery window. If no one is present, the delivery cannot be completed and a missed delivery fee may apply.
