Crushed Concrete we deliver in Portland
Crushed Concrete in Portland
Crushed concrete looks a lot like crushed stone, but it is not the same material. Crushed concrete is recycled from old pavement and structures, and it costs less per ton. Both are angular and compact well, which is why people mix them up.
Portland gets about 44 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage and washout planning is part of every crushed concrete job in the city.
Crushed Concrete Products for Portland Jobs
Not every size fits every project. The table below lists the crushed concrete options Gravel Monkey delivers by the ton in Portland. Each size has a specific job it does best, and using the wrong size can cause compaction or drainage problems.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | Mixed sizes for backfill and subbase. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Smooth surface for paths or over a base. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | Best for driveway bases and parking pads. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Handles bigger loads and poor subgrade. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | For raising grades and temporary access roads. |
Common Portland Projects and the Right Crushed Concrete for Each
The table below matches five typical projects to the crushed concrete size that works best. Depth depends on the subgrade and the load it needs to carry.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Grade raising under a slab | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Use as deep fill; compact in lifts. |
| Temporary site access | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Larger stone provides traction. |
| Driveway base on a budget | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Standard compacting base for drives. |
| Backfill behind a wall | Crushed Concrete | Mixed sizes compact well for drainage. |
| Parking pad | 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing for a smooth surface. |
How Portland's Climate Affects Your Crushed Concrete Project
Ground freezing here is not a significant factor, so the base layer does not need extra depth for frost protection. Portland only averages about 28 days a year that drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. That tightens the work window, and the ground can move a little during freeze-thaw cycles.
The city sees about 100 days each year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters, because wet soil can rut under the dump truck. Snowfall comes to about 3 inches a year, so plowing damage to a loose crushed concrete surface is a possibility.
Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts. Good slope and a compacted base keep crushed concrete stable through Portland's wet winters.
Estimating How Much Crushed Concrete to Order
To figure out the tonnage you need, measure the length and width of the area and decide on the depth. Use our material calculators to get a tonnage estimate based on your dimensions and the specific crushed concrete product you are ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Concrete in Portland
How many wet days a year should I plan a crushed concrete delivery around in Portland?
Plan for about 100 wet days. Portland gets at least a tenth of an inch of rain on roughly 100 days each year. That means scheduling the delivery onto firm ground to avoid rutting and washing.
Does the ground in Portland freeze hard enough to change when I should order?
No. Ground freezing is not a significant factor here. Portland only has about 28 days a year below freezing, so you can order crushed concrete year-round without worrying about frozen ground.
Where will the driver put the load?
The driver will set the load as close to your requested spot as safety and site access allow. You need a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck. You or your nominee should be present to direct the driver.
Can a contractor order on behalf of a customer?
Yes, a contractor can place an order for a customer's address. Provide clear delivery instructions and make sure someone is on site during the window to accept the load.
