Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Galveston address and unloads right where you point.
Crushed concrete is recycled base material that you buy by the ton online. You pick your size, choose a delivery window at checkout, and a dump truck brings it to your address in Galveston.
Galveston gets about 62 wet days a year, so scheduling your delivery onto firm ground matters. Plan for a dry stretch when the site is ready to receive the load.
Each crushed concrete size suits a specific use. The table below shows what each product is not the best choice for and where it works well.
| Product | Best use | Not recommended for |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | Fine grading or surface finish |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Heavy load support as primary base |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | Drainage fill where large voids are needed |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Thin surface layers or walkways |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Compacted base that needs a smooth finish |
The table matches project types to crushed concrete sizes. Depth varies with soil and load.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway base on a budget | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches after compaction |
| Backfill behind a wall | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Drainage layer, wrap in fabric |
| Grade raising under a slab | Crushed Concrete | Fill to grade, compact in lifts |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 6 inches compacted over geotextile |
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | 8 to 12 inches, no compaction needed |
Galveston gets about 58 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage and washout planning matters more here than in drier parts of Texas. You will want to account for water moving through the base and out of the work area.
Only about 6 days a year drop below freezing in Galveston. That short freeze window gives you a long working season, but the ground does move a little when it freezes. Order once the site is ready, because material sitting in the wrong spot gets moved twice. The soil mapped in the Galveston area is commonly somewhat poorly drained, so more base stone may be needed under the surface layer to keep the crushed concrete stable.
The ground around Galveston soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. That behavior means you can often use less drainage stone under the surface than in heavy clay areas. Your own site still needs a site check, but the regional soil gives you a starting point.
Estimating tonnage starts with the area, the depth you want, and the material's weight per cubic yard. Use Gravel Monkey's material calculators to enter your dimensions and get a tonnage number. The calculator covers every size shown above.

Yes. Galveston sees about 6 freezing days a year, which can make the ground hard or wet. The delivery team will keep you updated if weather shifts the schedule. You approve the final window before the truck leaves.
The freeze season is short, so ground movement is minimal. Order the same crushed concrete sizes you would for any other season. The 3/4" size remains the standard choice for compacted base work.
You pick a delivery window at checkout: morning 7 am to 12 pm or afternoon 12 pm to 5 pm. Delivery must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You get an email confirmation, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the load. The delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email.
The 3/4" crushed concrete is the most common size. It compacts well for driveways, parking pads, and base layers under slabs or asphalt. Many contractors start with 3/4" and adjust for specific drainage needs.
