Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Valley City address and unloads right where you point.
Barnes County sees about 46 inches of snowfall each year, which means driveways and access routes need a base that holds up under plowing and spring melt. Crushed concrete is a recycled, compactable material that handles that cycle well. For Valley City properties, it is a cost-effective choice for building a stable surface.
Whether you are fixing a farm lane, putting in a parking pad, or raising a grade under a shed slab, crushed concrete offers the angular interlock of crushed stone at a lower material cost. The sizes range from a fine dressing to heavy fill, so you can match the right product to your project.
Each size of crushed concrete does a different job. The table below lists the options, from fine to coarse. Choose the one that fits the depth and load you need.
| Product | Best used for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | A blended mix, compactable and affordable. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Works as a thin topping for pathways and patios. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | The go-to for driveways and parking areas. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Used where traffic or freeze-thaw needs a thick section. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Fills ruts and builds up low spots before a top layer. |
Match your job to a product. The suggestions below work for typical Valley City conditions. Adjust depth based on the soil and traffic, not the product selection.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Grade raising under a slab | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Fill depth 8 to 12 inches, compacted in lifts. |
| Backfill behind a wall | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Drains well and compacts tight against the wall. |
| Temporary site access | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Lay 4 to 6 inches over a fabric base. |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 6 inches compacted, then 2 inches of 3/8" on top. |
| Driveway base on a budget | Crushed Concrete (general mix) | 6 to 8 inches, compacted, may need a wearing course. |
Valley City gets about 22 inches of precipitation a year. That moisture, plus the freeze-thaw cycle, means your base layer has to drain and stay compact. Roughly 45 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling delivery onto firm ground matters. Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts.
About 181 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. That long freeze drives frost deep into the ground. A thick crushed concrete base resists heaving better than a thin one. The deep ground freezing here means you need a base depth that handles the cold, not just the load.
Snowfall of 46 inches a year requires plowing. Plow blades catch on loose material, so using a compacted, angular product like crushed concrete reduces damage. Barnes County permitted about 1 single-family home in 2024. For new construction, plan for the base before the frost sets in.
Estimate tonnage by the cubic yard of material needed. A 6-inch deep base for a 10 by 20 foot area takes about 3.7 cubic yards, which weighs roughly 5.5 tons. Use the material calculators on our site to get a more exact number for your area and depth.

Crushed concrete works well on its own, but sometimes you need a top layer or a different fill. Below are other materials we deliver to Valley City, each with a reason to consider it alongside crushed concrete.
The best time is late spring through early fall, after the ground thaws and before it freezes again. Valley City has about 181 freezing days per year, so the work window is roughly May through October. Order early in the season to get your date before demand peaks.
