Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Mounds address and unloads right where you point.
Crushed concrete is recycled demolition material, crushed and screened to an angular, compactable aggregate. In Mounds, you order it by the ton online, and Gravel Monkey sends a dump truck to your address with the size you pick.
Mounds gets about 44 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning matters. Crushed concrete's interlocking edges help water move through the base instead of pooling on top.
Each size serves a different layer. The finest works as a leveling coat; the largest handles soft ground. Choose the grade that matches the load and the lift depth you need.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | Good all-purpose fill for driveways and paths |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Use as a wearing surface or under pavers |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | Most common for driveways and parking areas |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Handles larger loads and deeper fills |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Good for wet spots and building up low areas |
Match the material to the job. The table below gives a starting point for five typical uses around Mounds.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Backfill behind a wall | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 12 to 18 inches for drainage |
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | 6 to 8 inches, topped with fines |
| Grade raising under a slab | Crushed Concrete (general) | Compacted in 6-inch lifts |
| Driveway base on a budget | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches, may need a sub-base |
| Parking pad | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | 6 to 8 inches for light vehicles |
Soils mapped in the Mounds area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. That means you may need more base stone under the surface layer than you would in sandier ground. The ground around Mounds 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, it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere, but it depends on whether the site is already drained.
About 60 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling a delivery onto firm ground avoids working wet soil. About 77 days a year drop below 32F, and the ground freezes enough to move a loose surface. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. Mounds also sees about 7 inches of snow a year; plowing can chew up a crushed concrete surface if the top lift is too thin.
Figure the length, width, and depth in feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. Multiply cubic yards by about 1.3 to 1.5 tons per yard for crushed concrete. Our material calculators do this math for you. Just enter the dimensions and depth to get the tonnage.

About 60 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. You want the ground firm enough for a loaded dump truck, so pick a dry stretch. Delivery can be rescheduled if the site is too soft.
About 77 days a year drop below 32F. The freeze is real but moderate, so the ground can go soft in a thaw. Order in late spring or early fall if you can, or work during a cold snap when the surface is firm.
The truck needs at least 12 feet of road width. If access is too tight, the crew unloads as close to your spot as they safely can. Check your driveway or path before you place the order.
Depth depends on the project. Driveways usually take 4 to 6 inches of crushed concrete on a prepared sub-base. Softer ground calls for a deeper first lift. Use our material calculators to estimate volume once you pick a depth.
Whether you are upgrading a driveway or building a parking pad, crushed concrete gives you a compact, budget-friendly base. Order online, choose your delivery window, and let Gravel Monkey handle the truck. Mounds crushed concrete delivery is available now.
