Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Robbins address and unloads right where you point.
Crushed concrete comes in several sizes, from a fine top dressing to heavy chunks used for deep fill. The size you choose changes what the material can do and how well it performs under a load or on a slope. Robbins gets about 48 inches of precipitation a year, so planning for drainage and washout matters regardless of which size you pick.
All sizes are recycled, angular, and compact. They cost less than virgin stone and give you a durable base for driveways, pads, and temporary access routes. The right size depends on the job depth and the surface traffic.
The standard 3/4" Crushed Concrete is the most popular base size for driveways and parking areas. It compacts firmly and drains well. Other sizes serve different purposes, from a fine cap to a rough fill.
| Product | Best For | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | Mixed particle sizes, good for sub-base layers |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Smaller particles create a smoother surface |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | Most versatile for residential and light commercial use |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Larger aggregate adds stability for truck traffic |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Used where load-bearing is needed over soft ground |
Each project needs a specific product and depth. The table below matches common jobs with the right crushed concrete size and a typical depth range.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Grade raising under a slab | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches after compaction, depends on soil |
| Backfill behind a wall | Crushed Concrete (mixed) | Use 1"-1 1/2" for drainage and compaction |
| Driveway base on a budget | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches, compact in lifts |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches for cars, 6 to 8 for trucks |
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | 6 to 12 inches, locks together for soft ground |
About 65 days a year drop below 32F in Robbins. A freeze-thaw cycle can push an unstable base upward, creating bumps or settling. Using a well-compacted crushed concrete layer helps the ground stay where it belongs. The ground around Robbins is in hydrologic group B, which means it takes water in at a moderate rate. A standard base depth is usually enough to handle the rain.
About 77 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground avoids ruts from the truck or from the material settling on a wet surface. Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is. Soils mapped in the Robbins area are commonly well drained, which means you may need less base stone under the surface layer compared to a heavy clay site.
Snowfall averages about 2 inches a year. Plowing a thin layer of snow over a loose crushed concrete surface can gouge the top. A final layer of 3/8" Crushed Concrete or a compacted 3/4" surface reduces that risk.
Crushed concrete is sold by the ton, and the volume you need depends on the area and the compacted depth. A cubic yard of crushed concrete weighs roughly 1.3 to 1.5 tons. Use our material calculators to turn your square footage and desired depth into a tonnage estimate before you order.

Many Robbins homeowners and contractors order crushed concrete together with another material for a complete job. Here are the options available for delivery.
The best time is when the ground is dry enough for the truck to access your site without sinking. Robbins has about 77 wet days a year, so late spring and early fall often give the firmest conditions. Avoid ordering during a stretch of steady rain because the material can wash or settle unevenly before you compact it.
Yes. Robbins receives about 48 inches of precipitation a year, which is above the national average. If your crushed concrete base is not thick enough or not well compacted, heavy rain can erode the fines and leave loose stone. Using a compacted 3/4" or larger product helps the base resist washout.
Crushed concrete is sold by the ton, not by the cubic yard. The exact tonnage you need depends on the area and the depth you plan to install. Our online calculator converts your dimensions into a tonnage estimate before you order.
