Crushed Concrete we deliver in Corpus Christi
Crushed Concrete in Corpus Christi
Crushed concrete is recycled concrete rubble that has been crushed and screened into angular pieces. It compacts well and works as a base for driveways, parking areas, and slab foundations. In Corpus Christi, you order it by the ton online, and Gravel Monkey delivers it to your address by dump truck.
Corpus Christi gets about 34 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter when you install a crushed concrete surface. Good compaction and a sloped surface help water run off.
Crushed Concrete Sizes Available in Corpus Christi
Not every crushed concrete size fits every job. Match the size to your project to avoid a surface that shifts or fails. Here are the options you can order.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | Versatile for driveways and bases, but not for fine grading or top dressing. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Fine for topping and leveling, but too small for a compacted base that supports heavy loads. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | Standard base size that locks together well, but not for deep fill or mud control. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Heavy base under drives and pads, but too chunky for a smooth finished layer. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Deep fill and mud control, but not for a surface that needs compaction or a flat finish. |
Matching Projects to Crushed Concrete Sizes
Different surfaces need different crushed concrete sizes. This table shows what to order for common jobs.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |

| Backfill behind a wall | Crushed Concrete | Drainable and compactable |
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Handles heavy traffic on soft ground |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Base for asphalt or gravel surface |
Corpus Christi Climate and Soil Considerations for Crushed Concrete
Nueces County permitted about 1,523 new single-family homes in 2024, so many sites in and around Corpus Christi are being graded fresh. On any new build, understanding the local ground is key. Soils in the Corpus Christi area are commonly poorly drained, which means more or less base stone under the surface layer depending on where you are.
Corpus Christi gets about 34 inches of precipitation a year. That water has to go somewhere, so drainage planning matters. About 44 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Plan your delivery for a dry stretch so the truck has firm ground to pull onto. The area sees about 1 day a year below freezing, so the ground does not heave much, but that one freeze-thaw cycle can unsettle a loose surface. Snowfall is about 0 inches a year, so plowing damage is not a concern.
The ground around Corpus Christi is in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where it is drained, it takes water in slowly and sheds runoff; where it is not drained, most rain runs across the surface. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere. Order once the site is ready, because material sitting in the wrong spot gets moved twice.
