Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Rainier address and unloads right where you point.
The cost of crushed concrete comes down to two things: the material itself and the ride it takes to get to Rainier. Being a recycled product, the per-ton price stays lower than virgin stone. That makes it a good choice for big fills and base layers where you don't need a uniform look.
Rainier gets about 52 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage matters under any paved or gravel surface. Crushed concrete, when compacted, allows water to pass through better than mud or silt. That reduces washout and rutting over time.
Not every crushed concrete size works for every job. Here is what each product is not built for.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | Not suitable for fine grading or walkways without a smaller topcoat. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Too small to provide strength under heavy loads. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | Not designed for heavy traffic without a thicker lift. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Too large for hand spreading or shallow fills. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Not for use as a finished surface or under foot traffic. |
The table below matches common jobs to the crushed concrete size that handles the load and the conditions.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway base on a budget | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 6-inch compacted lift |
| Backfill behind a wall | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Allows drainage; depth varies |
| Grade raising under a slab | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches compacted |
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Provides traction on soft ground |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Compacted in lifts |
Rainier sees about 70 days a year below 32F, and the ground freezes and thaws repeatedly. That freeze-thaw action can shift a base that wasn't laid thick enough or compacted well. A deeper first lift of crushed concrete helps keep the surface stable through winter.
About 116 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That makes scheduling important. You want the delivery window to come when the ground is firm enough to spread and compact the material.
Only about 2 inches of snow falls in a typical year, but that is enough to matter. Plowing a thin layer of snow can gouge a loose gravel surface if the crushed concrete base is not locked in. Frost here is real but moderate, so the base layer needs to go down deep enough to sit on stable ground below the frost line. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
Crushed concrete is sold by the ton, and the volume you need depends on the area and the depth of the lift. Use the Gravel Monkey material calculators to figure out how many tons to order. Just enter your dimensions and the calculator does the rest.

Yes, ground freezing is a factor in Rainier. The area sees about 70 days a year below 32F, and the freeze-thaw cycle can disrupt a base that hasn't been compacted well. Order your crushed concrete in late spring or early summer so you can install it before the ground freezes again.
Winter weather can shift delivery timing. The ground around Rainier is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. That can make the site muddy and soft, so we schedule deliveries when the ground is firm enough to support the truck.
Crushed concrete is sold by the ton, not by the yard. The price per ton is set online, and the total cost depends on how many tons you need. Use the material calculators to convert depth and area into tons.
Yes, we deliver to both residential and commercial sites. Columbia County permitted about 47 single-family homes in 2024, and crushed concrete is common for driveways and base work on those jobs. We handle any size order.
The two most common crushed concrete jobs in Rainier are driveway bases and backfill behind retaining walls. Both benefit from the recycled pricing and the drainage behavior of crushed concrete. Order online now and pick a delivery date that works for you on the Rainier crushed concrete page.
