Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your West Portsmouth address and unloads right where you point.
Crushed concrete is a recycled alternative to crushed stone. It costs less per ton and compacts just as well. West Portsmouth gets about 43 inches of rain a year, so drainage matters when you lay a base.
Crushed concrete is angular and locks together. It is a good choice for driveways, parking areas, and as a base under slabs. For projects that need a clean look, crushed stone may be better. But for strength on a budget, crushed concrete works.
Not every size of crushed concrete fits every job. Here is what each product does and what it is not made for.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | Not for fine grading or top dressing. |
| 3/8 Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Not for deep base layers or heavy loads. |
| 3/4 Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | Not for drainage layers without larger stone. |
| 1-1 1/2 Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Not for walkways or exposed surfaces. |
| 2-3 Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Not for surfacing or compacted final layers. |
The table below matches typical projects to the right product and depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Temporary site access | 2-3 Crushed Concrete | 6 to 12 inches for mud control. |
| Parking pad | 3/4 Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches compacted. |
| Grade raising under a slab | 1-1 1/2 Crushed Concrete | 6 to 8 inches compacted in lifts. |
| Backfill behind a wall | 3/4 Crushed Concrete | 12 inches wide against wall, compacted. |
| Driveway base on a budget | 3/4 Crushed Concrete | 6 inches compacted, top with 3/8 if wanted. |
West Portsmouth has about 84 wet days a year. Schedule your delivery when the ground is firm to avoid ruts. About 118 days a year drop below 32F, which affects the work window and how much the ground moves during freeze-thaw cycles.
The area gets about 20 inches of snow yearly. Plowing can damage a loose crushed concrete surface if it is not compacted well. Ground freezing here is real but moderate, so the base depth needed is not extreme.
Soils mapped in the West Portsmouth area are commonly well drained. That means standard base depth is usually enough. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
To figure out how many tons of crushed concrete you need, measure the length and width of the area in feet and multiply by the depth in inches. Then divide by 12 to get cubic feet, and use the material calculators on our site to convert that to tons for each product.
