Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Denver address and unloads right where you point.
If you are building a driveway or a parking pad, crushed concrete is a reliable base. Two common sizes are 3/4" Crushed Concrete for compacting and 3/8" Crushed Concrete for a finer finish.
Denver gets about 47 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage is important in any project. Crushed concrete handles water well and stays stable when compacted correctly.
Crushed concrete comes in several sizes for different jobs. The table below shows every size Gravel Monkey delivers to Denver addresses.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | general recycled base material | A blended material that works for most base and fill jobs. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | fine top dressing and leveling | Small particles that spread evenly and compact to a smooth surface. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | the standard compacting base size | The most popular size for driveways and parking areas that need load bearing. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | heavy base under drives and pads | Larger chunks lock together for a stable foundation under heavy weight. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | deep fill and mud control | Used for filling ruts and building up low spots before adding smaller stone. |
The table below matches typical projects with the right crushed concrete size. The options are split between a budget choice and a longer-lasting choice.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway base on a budget | Crushed Concrete (general) | 6 to 8 inches compacted for light vehicles |
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches over geotextile fabric |
| Grade raising under a slab | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches compacted to 95% density |
| Backfill behind a wall | Crushed Concrete (general) | 12 to 18 inches placed in lifts |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 6 to 8 inches compacted for stability |
Soils mapped in the Denver area are commonly well drained. That means most sites need only a standard base layer of 4 to 6 inches under the surface stone. The ground around Denver takes water in at a moderate rate, so drainage is not a big concern for most projects. Typical base depths work well here.
Denver sees about 73 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling your delivery onto firm ground is easier if you pick a dry spell. The county permitted about 697 single-family homes in 2024, so many new lots are being developed in this area. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
About 4 inches of snow falls each year. Plowing a loose crushed concrete surface can push the stone aside, so wait to finish the surface until after the last snowfall. Freezing temperatures occur about 76 days a year, but ground freezing here is not a significant factor. The base layer does not need to be deeper because of frost.
Estimating the right tonnage depends on the area and the compacted depth you plan. Use Gravel Monkey's material calculators to get a ballpark number before you order. Enter your square footage and depth, and the calculator shows tons needed.
