Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Darlington address and unloads right where you point.
Crushed concrete is a recycled aggregate that compacts into a firm, durable surface. It works well for driveways, parking pads, and as a base for other materials. In Darlington, where about 48 inches of rain falls each year, proper drainage is key to keeping the surface stable.
New home construction in Darlington County brought around 181 single-family permits in 2024. Builders and homeowners alike use crushed concrete as a budget-friendly base material. It is also popular for rural lanes and temporary site access.
Crushed concrete comes in several sizes, each suited to a different layer or application. The right size depends on whether you are building a new base, topping an existing surface, or filling soft ground.
| Product | Best For | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | Blend of sizes for compacting under drives and pads |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Settles into a smooth surface for walkways and patios |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | Locks together tightly for a stable foundation |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Handles traffic and spreads load over soft spots |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Fills ruts and provides drainage in wet areas |
Here are five typical uses and the size we recommend for each.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Backfill behind a wall | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Compacts well against wall; depth depends on wall height |
| Grade raising under a slab | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Typically 4 to 6 inches of compacted base |
| Driveway base on a budget | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Avoid soft spots with 4 to 6 inches after compaction |
| Temporary site access | Crushed Concrete | Firm surface for light traffic; refresh after heavy use |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches of compacted material for cars |
Darlington sees about 74 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling your delivery onto firm, dry ground helps the truck unload evenly. Wet soil can rut under heavy loads, so plan for a dry spell when possible.
About 57 days a year drop below freezing. Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts. Snowfall averages around 0 inches a year, so plowing damage to a loose surface is not a concern. Frost and ground freezing here are not a significant factor, which means the base layer does not need to be as deep as in colder climates.
Soils mapped in the Darlington area are commonly well drained, so less base stone may be required under the surface layer. The ground around Darlington takes water in at a moderate rate, meaning standard base depth is usually enough for most projects.
To figure out the tonnage, measure the area and decide on the compacted depth. Use our material calculators to convert those numbers into approximate tons. Enter your dimensions and the desired depth to get a load estimate before you order.
