Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Chautauqua address and unloads right where you point.
Crushed concrete is recycled and costs less than crushed stone per ton. Both are angular and compact, so they are often confused. Chautauqua gets about 46 inches of precipitation a year, which makes drainage and washout planning important for any base material.
Knowing the difference between crushed concrete and crushed stone helps you pick the right material for your budget and the job. Crushed concrete works well for budget-friendly base layers, while crushed stone is typically used where a consistent color or slightly higher strength is needed.
Not every size fits every job. Some crushed concrete products are too fine to handle heavy traffic, and others are too coarse for a smooth finish. Use this table to match the product to your project.
| Product | Best use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | Versatile blend for driveways, pads, and paths |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Not for heavy loads; use under pavers or as a final layer |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | Ideal for most residential driveways and parking areas |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Use where deeper lift and better drainage are needed |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Largest size for soft ground or raising grades |
Pick the material based on the surface you are building and the traffic it will take. This table lists five typical projects and the right crushed concrete for each.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway base on a budget | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches after compaction |
| Parking pad | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | 6 to 8 inches for heavy vehicles |
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | 8 to 12 inches over soft ground |
| Backfill behind a wall | Crushed Concrete | Compact in lifts of 6 inches |
| Grade raising under a slab | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 8 inches, depending on the fill |
Chautauqua sees about 46 inches of rain each year, and roughly 103 days with at least a tenth of an inch. That means scheduling delivery onto firm ground matters. Wet soil can rut under the truck, and a damp base may not compact properly.
About 116 days a year drop below freezing, and snowfall averages 114 inches. Plowing can tear up a loose surface, so plan to cap crushed concrete with a compacted layer before winter. Ground freezing here is real but moderate, which affects how deep the base layer needs to be.
Soils mapped in the Chautauqua area are commonly moderately well drained. That means you may need more base stone under the surface layer than in areas with faster drainage. The ground around Chautauqua is in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where it is drained, it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface; where it is not, most rain runs across the surface. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
Crushed concrete is sold by the ton. To figure out your tonnage, measure the length and width of the area and the depth you want. Our material calculators can convert cubic yards to tons for any of the sizes listed above. Use them before you order so you do not end up short or with too much material.
You order online by the ton, and delivery is priced by ZIP code at checkout. A dump truck brings the material to your address in loads from 1 to over 40 tons. Free delivery is available on qualifying orders.

Crushed concrete works with several other bulk materials for a complete job. These products can go under, on top of, or alongside your crushed concrete layer.
Yes. With about 116 days below freezing each year, the ground freezes deeply enough that ordering early in the season is wise. If you wait until the ground is frozen, compaction is harder and the base may not settle properly. Order in late summer or early fall for the best working conditions.
They can. Snowfall averages 114 inches annually, and plowing can damage a loose surface. Delivery timing can shift if snow blocks access or if the truck cannot get to the drop point safely. You choose a window at checkout, and we update you on any delays.
