Crushed Concrete in Ithaca
Crushed concrete is a recycled base material that keeps costs down. The delivered price depends on where the supply comes from and how far the truck travels. For Ithaca jobs, the cost logic starts with local recycling yards and the tonnage you need.
Ithaca gets about 41 inches of precipitation a year. That much rainfall makes drainage and washout planning essential before the truck arrives.
Crushed Concrete Sizes for Ithaca Jobs
Each crushed concrete size has a specific job on site. The table below shows what each product is not suitable for, so you pick the right one the first time.
| Product | Intended use | What not to use it for |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | Not suitable as a finished surface; needs a wear layer on top. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Not suitable as a structural base under heavy vehicles or slabs. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | Not ideal for deep fill; use a larger size below compacted lifts. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Not suitable for shallow layers; needs 6 inches or more. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Not suitable for top-level grading; leaves an uneven surface. |
Which Crushed Concrete to Order for Common Ithaca Projects
Match your project to the right material using the guide below. Depth recommendations assume good subgrade conditions.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Backfill behind a wall | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Compact in 8-inch lifts to prevent settling. |
| Grade raising under a slab | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Minimum 6 inches to avoid cracking from heave. |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Compact to 4 to 6 inches for light vehicles. |
| Driveway base on a budget | Crushed Concrete | Top with a finer layer for a smooth drive surface. |
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Spread 8 to 12 inches over soft ground. |
Local Conditions That Affect Crushed Concrete Work in Ithaca
Ithaca has about 89 wet days a year, so scheduling delivery on firm ground matters. Rain can soften the subgrade and make compaction hard.
About 155 days a year drop below 32F. The cold shortens the working season and means the ground moves more. Snowfall averages 63 inches, and plowing can pull up a loose crushed concrete surface if it is not compacted well.
Ground freezing is deep and long here. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Concrete in Ithaca
Is Ithaca a wet enough area to worry about washout?
Yes. Ithaca experiences deep and long ground freezing, which can cause frost heave that moves the base. Proper compaction and drainage reduce washout risk from rain, but frost heave is the bigger concern for base stability.
Do winter conditions in Ithaca affect delivery?
Yes. Frozen ground can make site access difficult and affect base preparation. Delivery is still possible in winter, but you need to schedule around the cold. The delivery window is chosen at checkout, and the lead time is at least 3 business days.
Is there a discount on a first order?
Yes. Use the code FIRSTTIMER50 at checkout to get $50 off your first order of crushed concrete.
Do I need to be home when the truck arrives?
Yes. You or someone you nominate must be at the site during the delivery window. The crew needs a person to guide them to the drop location. If nobody is there, a redelivery fee may apply.
