Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Greensboro address and unloads right where you point.
Contractors tend to order crushed concrete in bulk for large commercial pads and site access roads. Homeowners more often buy it for a driveway base or a parking pad. Both groups want the same thing: a compactable aggregate that stays put over time. Greensboro gets about 46 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter for every load.
Crushed concrete is recycled demolition material that has been crushed and screened. It packs down hard and costs less than virgin stone. The angular shape locks together well under weight.
Five sizes of crushed concrete cover everything from a thin topping to deep mud control. Pick the one that matches your project.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | Mixed sizes, works under most surfaces |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Passes a 3/8-inch screen, smooth finish |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | Most common choice for driveways |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Larger pieces for load-bearing layers |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Coarse material for saturated sites |
Each project needs the right size and depth. The table below matches common jobs to the product and a starting depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Backfill behind a wall | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Compact in 6-inch lifts |
| Grade raising under a slab | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches after compaction |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 6 inches compacted |
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | 8 to 12 inches to bridge soft ground |
| Driveway base on a budget | Crushed Concrete (mixed) | 4 to 6 inches, topped with fines |
Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts. Greensboro averages about 78 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That many wet days means you need to schedule the delivery onto firm ground, not after a soaking rain.
The ground around Greensboro is in hydrologic group C, which takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer earns its place under driveways and pads. Snowfall averages about 5 inches a year, so plowing damage to a loose crushed concrete surface is a real concern. Use a compacted top layer of 3/8-inch material to resist the scraper.
About 68 days a year drop below 32F. That narrows the work window for spreading and compacting, and it influences how much the ground moves during freeze-thaw cycles. Frost penetration is not significant here, so you do not need a deeper base to avoid frost heave.
Start by measuring the length and width of the area, then multiply by the planned depth in feet. That volume in cubic feet divided by 27 gives cubic yards. Crushed concrete is sold by the ton, and you can convert using our material calculators. The calculator estimates tonnage from your dimensions.

Spring and fall are usually best because the ground is not frozen or too wet. Greensboro has about 68 freezing days a year, so winter work is possible but the window is short. Summer storms can turn a job site into mud, so check the forecast before scheduling.
The smallest load we deliver is 1 ton. That is about 2/3 of a cubic yard of crushed concrete. For a small project like a walkway base, 1 ton may be enough.
