Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Chelsea address and unloads right where you point.
Rogers County sees steady building activity, with about 585 single-family homes permitted in 2024. For projects that need a sturdy, affordable base, crushed concrete is a common choice on rural lanes and in-town lots around Chelsea.
Chelsea gets about 45 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage and washout planning matter when you put down a crushed concrete surface.
Crushed concrete comes in several sizes, so you can match the stone to the job. The table below lists each size and what it works best for.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | A blended mix that compacts well for most projects. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Good for paths and as a finished layer on driveways. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | Used under pavers, slabs and as a driveway base. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Provides a stable foundation for larger loads. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Works for muddy areas and as a sub-base in wet spots. |
Each project has its own needs. The table below matches common jobs to the crushed concrete size that works best.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | 6 to 8 inches deep to hold up under equipment. |
| Grade raising under a slab | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches after compaction. |
| Backfill behind a wall | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Drains well and reduces pressure on the wall. |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete with a 3/8" top | 6 inches of base, 2 inches of top dressing. |
| Driveway base on a budget | Crushed Concrete (general mix) | 8 inches compacted for light vehicles. |
About 66 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain in Chelsea. That means you will want to schedule the delivery onto firm ground to avoid rutting.
The ground freezes about 94 days a year. That affects the work window and how much the ground moves under a base. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.
Soils mapped in the Chelsea area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. As area guidance, you may need more or less base stone under the surface layer depending on your exact spot. Ground around Chelsea is in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where it is drained, it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. Where it is not drained, it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. So drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere.
To estimate the tonnage, 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 our material calculators to convert to tons. You can also call us for a quick estimate.

Spring and fall are ideal because the ground is not frozen and plowing won't damage a loose surface. Chelsea gets about 8 inches of snow a year, and plowing can shift an unset base, so winter delivery is risky unless the surface is already compacted.
The smallest load is 1 ton. A 1-ton load covers about 80 square feet at 2 inches deep. Since ground freezing here is real but moderate, a deeper base layer may be needed for driveways even on small loads.
It depends on the project. For a driveway base, use 3/4" to 1-1/2" sizes. For a top dressing or path, use 3/8". For muddy areas or deep fill, use 2"-3" crushed concrete.
