Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Somerville address and unloads right where you point.
Contractors and homeowners buy crushed concrete differently. Contractors often order truckloads for base work, while homeowners may need smaller quantities for driveways or paths. In Somerville, about 44 inches of precipitation a year means drainage is a key planning factor.
Crushed concrete is recycled concrete crushed to angular pieces. It compacts well and costs less than virgin stone. Both groups use it as a budget-friendly base.
Crushed concrete comes in several sizes for different uses. Choose the size that fits your project.
| Product | Typical use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | Versatile blend of sizes for most base work. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Small enough for a smooth finish on paths. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | The go-to for driveways and parking pads. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Larger pieces lock together under heavy loads. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Best for deep base layers and soft ground. |
The table below shows which crushed concrete size works for common jobs.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Backfill behind a wall | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 6 to 8 inches, compacted in lifts |
| Grade raising under a slab | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches after compaction |
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | 8 to 12 inches over geotextile |
| Driveway base on a budget | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches, compacted |
| Parking pad | Crushed Concrete | 6 inches of compacted base |
Somerville's weather and ground conditions affect how crushed concrete performs. About 55 days a year bring measurable rain, so schedule deliveries onto firm ground to avoid soft spots. The area sees roughly 18 freezing days annually, which can unsettle a base if not compacted well.
Ground freezing here is real but moderate, which means base depth matters less than in colder regions. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. Soils mapped in the Somerville area are commonly moderately well drained, so you may need more or less base stone under the surface layer depending on your exact site.
The ground around Somerville takes in water very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. This makes drainage and a deeper base more important here than in other areas. Account for poor infiltration when planning your project depth.
