Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Mars Hill address and unloads right where you point.
Mars Hill gets about 45 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter on every job. The most productive work window runs from late spring through early fall, when the ground is firm enough to support heavy loads without rutting.
About 85 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, meaning you need to schedule the delivery onto firm ground. Ordering ahead for a dry stretch keeps the truck from bogging down and saves rework.
The 3/4" Crushed Concrete is the standard compacting base size and the one most crews order for driveways and parking pads. The other sizes fill specific roles, from fine dressing to deep mud control.
| Product | Best use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | Mixed blend, good for bulk fill. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Compacts smooth, works under pavers. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | Best all-around for structural base. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Larger aggregate for high-load areas. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Used where drainage and stability are critical. |
Pick the right size and depth for each job. The table below maps common projects to the recommended product and a typical lift depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Grade raising under a slab | Crushed Concrete | 6 to 8 inches compacted in lifts |
| Backfill behind a wall | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Drainable, no fines |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches compacted |
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | 8 to 12 inches, handles mud |
| Driveway base on a budget | Crushed Concrete | 6 inches, compacted |
About 82 days a year drop below 32F in Mars Hill, so the ground sees real freeze-thaw action. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. A base that is too thin will heave and settle when the frost comes out.
Snowfall averages about 12 inches a year, which means plowing damage to a loose surface if the top layer is not well compacted. Ground freezing here is real but moderate, so the base layer needs to be deep enough to stay stable through the cold months.
Soils mapped in the Mars Hill area are commonly well drained, which helps with water shedding, but the ground around Mars Hill is in hydrologic group B and takes water in at a moderate rate. Standard base depth is usually enough because the soil does not pond water against the stone.
Estimate your tonnage by figuring the area in square feet and the compacted depth you need. Crushed concrete is sold by the ton, and Gravel Monkey's material calculators let you enter the dimensions and see the tonnage right away. The calculator covers all the crushed concrete sizes listed above.

Between late spring and early fall, when the ground is dry and firm. About 85 days a year bring measurable rain, so aim for a stretch with a dry forecast to avoid working in mud. Freeze-thaw cycles from late fall to early spring can make a loose base unstable.
Crushed concrete is recycled and costs less per ton than crushed stone. Both are angular and compact to form a strong base. Crushed concrete works for driveways, parking pads and backfill, but crushed stone may be required where a virgin aggregate is specified.
