Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Knoxville address and unloads right where you point.
Crushed concrete delivers the same angular compaction as virgin stone for less money per ton. The delivered price depends on how far the material travels and the size you choose.
Knoxville gets about 56 inches of precipitation a year, which means any base material must drain well to stay stable under traffic. Crushed concrete's open, interlocking structure handles that need.
Each size suits a different part of the job. The general recycled base is a budget choice for large fills, while the finer grades work best as a wearing surface or a leveling course.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | All-purpose, works under most residential surfaces. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Locks together well for walking paths or a thin cap layer. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | Best for driveways and parking areas where compaction matters. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Larger pieces bridge soft spots and spread loads well. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Great for building up low areas or improving boggy access points. |
Match the product to the surface you are building. The table below shows common projects and the recommended depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Backfill behind a wall | Crushed Concrete | 12 inches to 18 inches for drainage and compaction. |
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | 6 inches to 8 inches; large rock resists rutting in mud. |
| Grade raising under a slab | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | 4 inches to 6 inches compacted in lifts. |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 inches after compaction, topped with fines if needed. |
| Driveway base on a budget | Crushed Concrete | 6 inches minimum compacted; add 3/8" as a wearing course. |
About 90 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is important. A wet driveway can rut before the stone is even spread.
Roughly 75 days per year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. The ground freezing here is real but moderate, meaning a base layer that goes below the frost line stays stable longer.
Snowfall averages about 4 inches a year. Plowing a loose crushed concrete surface can push material off the edges, so a compacted top size like 3/4 inch holds up better if you plow.
Tonnage depends on the area, the planned depth and the material's density. Every project is different, so guessing leads to over-ordering or running short in the middle of a spread. Use our material calculators to get a tonnage figure for your specific dimensions and product.
Buy by the ton online, and delivery is priced by your ZIP code at checkout. A dump truck brings the load to your address in loads from 1 to 40+ tons. Free delivery applies on qualifying orders, and first-time customers can use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off their first order.
You choose a delivery window at checkout: morning (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm). A valid phone number is required, and you get an email confirmation when the order is placed. Closer to the date, a second email shows the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery goes ahead only after you approve that second email.
You or someone you nominate must be at the site during the window. The truck needs a road width of at least 12 feet. Read more on our delivery information page. For background on how we source materials, see About Gravel Monkey. Real customer experiences are shared on our customer reviews page.
Crushed concrete works well alone for many jobs, but combining it with other materials can improve final performance.
About 90 days a year see at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Try to schedule your delivery during a dry stretch to avoid rutting the ground before the stone is placed.
Yes. Roughly 75 days per year fall below freezing, and the ground freezes moderately. Ordering earlier in the season or waiting for a dry freeze gives firmer ground for the truck and better compaction.
The truck needs a road width of at least 12 feet. If access is tight, the crew unloads as close to the requested spot as they safely can. You are responsible for confirming the route can handle a heavy dump truck.
Depth depends on the surface you are building and the soil underneath. For a driveway on stable ground, 4 to 6 inches of compacted crushed concrete is common. Use our material calculators for a depth recommendation based on your project type.
