Buy Crushed Concrete in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania

Crushed concrete delivers the same angular compaction as virgin stone at a lower cost per ton. In Luzerne County, where the ground gets about 46 inches of precipitation a year, that cost advantage makes it a sensible base for driveways and pads that need to shed water.

We stock five sizes of crushed concrete. Choosing the right one depends on the project depth and the load it must carry.

Luzerne County Conditions That Affect Crushed Concrete

About 46 inches of precipitation falls here each year, with roughly 85 wet days. That rain has to go somewhere, and the local ground falls into hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer of crushed concrete earns its place when the base has to keep standing water from softening the subgrade.

About 139 days a year drop below freezing, and the ground freezes deep and stays frozen long. That heave can crack a thin slab or wavy a driveway. Using a 6-inch or thicker base of angular 3/4" or 1"-1 1/2" crushed concrete helps absorb the movement. Snowfall runs about 45 inches a year, and plowing can gouge a loose surface, so a well-compacted top course or a switch to 3/8" crushed concrete as a wearing layer reduces damage.

Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts. If you are ordering for a spring job, factor in extra depth or a larger size to keep the surface firm.

How Many Tons of Crushed Concrete You Need

Tonnage depends on the area, the depth, and the specific size. A 4-inch lift of 3/4" crushed concrete covers roughly 30 to 35 square feet per ton.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Concrete in Luzerne County

When is the best time of year to order crushed concrete in Luzerne County?

The best time is late spring through early fall, after the ground thaws and before freeze-up. Luzerne County experiences about 139 freezing days per year, so the work window for compacting a crushed concrete base is limited. Order when the ground is firm and traffic will not churn the surface.

How many tons of crushed concrete do I need for my project?

You need roughly 1.4 tons per cubic yard for most crushed concrete sizes. Use our material calculators to convert your area and depth into tons. The calculator accounts for compaction and the specific product you choose.

Do you deliver to a job site with no one on it?

No, someone must be present to accept delivery and approve the load. You can nominate a neighbor or jobsite supervisor. If no one is there during the chosen window, a missed delivery fee may apply.

What is the difference between the sizes you stock?

The difference is particle diameter and the jobs each size suits. 3/8" crushed concrete is fine enough for a leveling course and light foot traffic. 3/4" is the standard compacting base for driveways. 1"-1 1/2" and 2"-3" are larger fractions used for deep fill, mud control, and heavy loads under equipment.
