Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Santa Rosa address and unloads right where you point.
Contractors usually know which crushed concrete size they need. Homeowners often need more guidance. Santa Rosa gets about 15 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter even in a dry climate. The soil drains slowly, which makes base thickness critical.
This page explains the options and helps you pick the right size for your project, whether you are paving a driveway or raising a slab.
Crushed concrete comes in several sizes, from fine dust to large rocks. The size you need depends on the project: fine grades work for leveling and top dressing, while coarser grades create a stable base under heavy loads. Use the table below to compare each option.
| Size | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | A versatile mix for budgets that need a reliable fill. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Smooth enough for paths and under pavers. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | The most common choice for compacted bases under drives and pads. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Larger rock locks together for extra load bearing. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Use where you need bulk fill or temporary access in wet spots. |
Every project starts with a problem: a muddy driveway, a sagging pad, or a low spot under a slab. The right crushed concrete size fixes that problem. This table matches each task with a recommended product.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway base on a budget | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Compacted in lifts for a firm, lasting surface. |
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Large rocks stay put even in mud. |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Compact well to handle vehicle weight. |
| Backfill behind a wall | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Drains well and settles predictably. |
| Grade raising under a slab | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Stable base that resists shifting. |
Soils mapped in the Santa Rosa area are commonly poorly drained. The ground falls into dual hydrologic group B/D. Where it is drained, water soaks in at a moderate rate; where it is not, most rain runs across the surface. Because drainage varies, the base layer under crushed concrete may need to be thicker to handle washout.
The area sees about 115 freezing days a year. Ground freezing can shift an unstressed base, so compaction matters. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. Ground freezing is real but moderate, which means the base layer needs enough depth to resist frost movement.

Crushed concrete works well as a base, but you may need other materials for the top layer or different parts of the job. Consider these alternatives and complements:
Spring through fall are the best seasons. Santa Rosa has about 31 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling delivery when the ground is dry and firm gives the best compaction.
The minimum load is 1 ton. Santa Rosa gets about 11 inches of snow per year, so ordering in late spring or summer avoids snow delays. You can order as many tons as you need up to a full truckload.
Yes, as long as the site is accessible by dump truck. The access road needs to be at least 12 feet wide. If access is tight, the crew unloads as close to the requested spot as they safely can.
Yes, you or someone you nominate must be available during the delivery window, either 7 am to 12 pm or 12 pm to 5 pm. If no one is there, a missed delivery fee may apply and the order is not refunded.
Crushed concrete is a cost-effective base material that works for driveways, pads, and fill projects around Santa Rosa. Pair it with sand, topsoil, or walkway gravel to complete the job. Visit the Santa Rosa hub to see all available materials.
