Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Garden City address and unloads right where you point.
A common mistake with crushed concrete is treating it as a budget filler that will settle evenly on its own. In practice, an unstable base leads to dips and washouts, especially where the ground sheds water instead of absorbing it. Around Garden City, the soil takes water in slowly, which means rainfall runs across the surface.
A base that is deep enough and properly compacted keeps that moving water from cutting channels under your driveway or pad. Getting the base right from the start saves rework later.
Four crushed concrete sizes cover both structural fill and a clean top surface. The coarser grades lock together under a compactor, while the finer grades give a smoother finish.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | general recycled base material | Works as a cost-effective foundation layer for most projects. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | fine top dressing and leveling | Gives a tighter surface for walkways and driveways. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | the standard compacting base size | The most common spec for residential driveways and pads. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | heavy base under drives and pads | Handles the load under large equipment or trucks. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | deep fill and mud control | Bridges soft spots and gives traction in wet areas. |
For a budget-conscious base that lasts, go with a larger crushed concrete size and cap it with a finer grade. For a long-term installation, compact each lift properly and use a filter fabric underneath.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| grade raising under a slab | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches, compacted in lifts |
| backfill behind a wall | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | drains well and locks tight against the wall |
| temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | 6 to 12 inches over soft ground |
| driveway base on a budget | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 8 inches, topped with 3/8" |
| parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 inches minimum, well compacted |
Ground freezing in Garden City runs deep and lasts through much of the winter. When moisture under a driveway or slab freezes, it expands and can lift an unprepared base. A crushed concrete base that extends deep enough stays stable because the material drains freely and does not hold water that can turn into ice lenses.
On top of that, the native soil around the city belongs to hydrologic group C. The ground takes water in slowly, so a fair amount of rain runs off across the surface. A well-drained base layer gives that runoff a path away from the structure instead of letting it pond at the edge. Rich County permitted about 72 single-family homes in 2024, which means more driveways and pads going in that need a stable base that handles both frost and surface water.
Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall. Ordering and placing crushed concrete during the working season gives the material time to settle and compact before the ground freezes.
The amount of crushed concrete you need depends on the area you are covering and the depth of the base. A thicker base for driveways requires more material than a thin leveling layer for a walkway. Our material calculators let you enter your project dimensions and depth to get a cubic yard estimate, then translate that into tons for checkout. Knowing the volume before you order keeps the truck from dropping short or leaving a surplus you have to move.
Ordering is straightforward. Choose your crushed concrete size, enter how many tons you need, and your ZIP code sets the delivery cost at checkout. A dump truck brings the load to your Garden City address in 1 to 40-plus ton loads. Orders that qualify for free delivery show that option before you pay.

Crushed concrete works well as a base, but other materials often finish the job or serve a different purpose.
Yes. Hard freezes and deep frost can delay delivery if access roads or the site are unsafe for a loaded truck. Gravel Monkey will keep you updated on any major delay. You choose a delivery window at checkout, and the system schedules around the weather.
Yes. Ground freezing here is deep and long, which means base work is best done from late spring through fall. Ordering during the working season gives the crushed concrete time to compact before the ground freezes.
The delivery price is calculated by your ZIP code at checkout. It depends on the distance from the nearest regional supplier in Gravel Monkey's network to your address.
You get an email confirmation right away. Closer to the date, a second email arrives with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. You must approve that second email for the delivery to go ahead.
