Crushed Concrete in La Follette
If you are building a driveway, a parking pad, or a temporary access road, crushed concrete gives you a strong, compactable surface for a lower material cost than virgin stone. La Follette gets about 55 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter when you choose your base layer.
The two most common options for these jobs are Crushed Concrete, a general recycled base material, and 3/4" Crushed Concrete, the standard compacting base size. Both compact well and provide a stable surface.
Crushed Concrete Products Available in La Follette
Crushed concrete comes in several sizes, each suited to a different layer of the job. Coarser grades work as a heavy base under drives and pads, while finer grades serve as a top dressing or leveling course. Choose the size that matches your project depth and compaction needs.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | Compactable and budget-friendly for base layers and fill. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Ideal for leveling and top dressing walkways and driveways. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Standard compacting base size | Most common base for driveways, pads, and under slabs. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Used for thick pavement and heavy vehicle loads. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Best for deep fill, mud control, and temporary access. |
Choosing the Right Size for Your Project
For budget-minded projects, crushed concrete offers a lower-cost alternative to virgin stone. For long-term installations, choose the right depth and compaction to ensure stability. The table below suggests which product to use for common projects.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | 6 to 12 inches deep |
| Grade raising under a slab | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches compacted |
| Driveway base on a budget | Crushed Concrete | 6 to 8 inches |
| Backfill behind a wall | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Drainable and compactable |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches |
Local Conditions That Affect Your Crushed Concrete Job
La Follette sees about 92 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means scheduling your crushed concrete delivery onto firm ground is important to avoid rutting. The 55 inches of annual precipitation also means drainage should be part of your plan.
Freezing temperatures occur on about 107 days a year, and snowfall averages about 6 inches. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. The ground freezing is moderate but real, so the base layer needs to be deep enough to resist frost heave.
Soils mapped in the La Follette area are commonly well drained, which means less base stone is needed under the surface layer. The ground also takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough for most projects.
How Much Crushed Concrete You Need for Your Project
To estimate how many tons of crushed concrete your project needs, use the material calculators on the Gravel Monkey website. Enter your length, width and depth to get a tonnage figure. The calculator also accounts for compaction and waste.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many wet days a year should I plan a crushed concrete delivery around in La Follette?
Plan around the roughly 92 days each year that receive at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling delivery onto firm ground helps avoid soft conditions. Dry weather also makes compaction easier.
Is La Follette a wet enough area to worry about washout?
La Follette gets about 55 inches of precipitation a year, so washout of a loose surface is a real concern. Proper compaction and a well-drained base reduce the risk. A top layer of finer crushed concrete also helps hold the surface in place.
Can a contractor order on behalf of a customer?

What surface does the truck need to reach the drop point?
The truck needs a road width of at least 12 feet to access the drop point. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close as safely possible. Ensure the path is clear of overhead obstacles and soft ground.
