Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Sweetwater address and unloads right where you point.
Sweetwater gets about 24 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage and washout planning matter for any gravel project. Crushed concrete is a strong, angular material that locks together and sheds water well, which makes it a smart choice for the area.
It compacts firmly and handles the local soil conditions. Whether you need a base for a driveway or fill for a muddy spot, crushed concrete gets the job done.
The most ordered size for Sweetwater jobs is the 3/4" Crushed Concrete. It compacts well and works as a standard base. Other sizes serve specific needs. The table below lists every option.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | Good for budget projects and subbase layers. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Works well as a final surface for paths and patios. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | Best for driveways and heavy-traffic areas. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Stable under large loads like equipment or trucks. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Ideal for soft ground and building up low spots. |
The table below matches typical jobs with the right product and a depth guideline. These are starting points, your site conditions may call for adjustments.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | 6 to 8 inches on a geotextile fabric to keep it from pushing into the soil. |
| Grade raising under a slab | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches, compacted in lifts. |
| Driveway base on a budget | Crushed Concrete | 6 inches compacted, then a 2-inch top layer of 3/4" or 3/8" if you want a smoother ride. |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | At least 6 inches to handle vehicle weight. |
| Backfill behind a wall | 3/8" Crushed Concrete | 12 inches wide against the wall for drainage. |
About 35 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is important so the truck can get in place. The ground around Sweetwater is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. That makes a deeper drainage layer earn its place.
Around 68 days a year drop below 32F. That shortens the work window in winter and means the ground moves with freeze and thaw cycles. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. Snowfall averages about 2 inches a year, so plowing damage to a loose surface is a minor risk.
Frost here is real but moderate. The base layer needs to be deep enough to stay stable when the top few inches thaw and refreeze.
Every job is different. Use our material calculators to estimate how many tons you need based on the length, width and depth of your project. The tool gives you a volume in tons, and you can adjust the depth to match the recommendations above.

Many buyers add a companion material to the same delivery. These products work well alongside crushed concrete.
The smallest load is one ton. Sweetwater's soil drains slowly, so even a small load of crushed concrete improves drainage in a low spot. You can order exactly what you need and have it delivered by dump truck.
Spring is a good time, after the ground thaws. Sweetwater sees about 68 days below freezing each year, so waiting until the frost is out helps the base settle. Fall is also a solid choice before the wet season sets in.
