Buy Crushed Concrete in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Crushed concrete comes in a range of sizes from fine 3/8-inch chips up to big 2-to-3-inch chunks. The size you choose changes how it packs, how deep you need to lay it, and how well it handles Myrtle Beach's heavy rainfall. About 56 inches of precipitation a year here means drainage and washout planning matter from the start.

Each size has a specific job. The finest grades work as a leveling course or a temporary walking surface. The coarser grades lock together to spread truck loads across soft ground. Picking the right one up front saves you a redelivery fee later.

Which Crushed Concrete to Use for Common Jobs in Myrtle Beach

Match your project to a product and a depth using the table below. Depths are general guidance; your site conditions may shift the number.

Myrtle Beach Weather and Ground Conditions

Myrtle Beach gets about 76 wet days a year, when at least a tenth of an inch falls. That many rain events means you need to schedule delivery onto firm ground, or the truck can rut the site. About 38 days a year drop below 32F, but without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts. Snowfall is only about 1 inch a year, so plowing damage to a loose surface is not a major worry here.

Soils mapped in the Myrtle Beach area are commonly very poorly drained. That means you may need more base stone under the surface layer than builders in drier areas use. The ground around town sits in dual hydrologic group B/D. Where it is drained, it takes water in at a moderate rate. Where it is not, water runs across the surface. Because drainage varies from lot to lot, you should plan for a thicker base and better side drainage than a generic guide suggests.

How Much Crushed Concrete You Need

To figure the tonnage, measure the length and width of the area in feet, multiply by the depth in inches, then divide by 12 to get cubic feet. A cubic foot of crushed concrete weighs roughly 100 pounds. Use our material calculators to get a precise tonnage number by entering your dimensions and the product you picked.

Delivery goes ahead only after you approve that second email. You or someone you nominate must be present during the window. The site needs a road at least 12 feet wide for the truck.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Concrete in Myrtle Beach

What is the smallest load of crushed concrete you deliver to Myrtle Beach?

The minimum order is 1 ton. One ton of 3/4-inch crushed concrete covers roughly 60 to 70 square feet at a 4-inch depth. Myrtle Beach gets about 56 inches of rain a year, so an undersized base can wash out quickly.

When is the best time of year to order crushed concrete in Myrtle Beach?

Late spring through early fall gives you the driest ground for delivery and compaction. About 76 wet days a year means rain can push your schedule. Order at least two weeks before you plan to spread the material to allow for delivery timing and weather delays.

Is crushed concrete as good as crushed stone for a base?

Both are angular and compact well. Crushed concrete is recycled and costs less per ton. Crushed stone is quarried and can have more consistent color. For most base work under driveways, pads or fill, crushed concrete performs the same as crushed stone.

Do you deliver to rural addresses outside the city limits?

Yes. We deliver anywhere our trucks can safely access within our South Carolina service area. The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close to the requested spot as they safely can.

Crushed Concrete for Driveways and Parking Pads

Two of the most common jobs for crushed concrete in Myrtle Beach are driveway bases and parking pads. A 4-to-6-inch base of 3/4-inch crushed concrete, topped with a finer wear layer, handles the local rainfall and sandy subsoil.
